All the world was a dream I couldn't shake
In a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake
That started mundane enough
With an incessant tapping on the windowpane
Separating me from the storm
Where inside I sat, me the loathsome fool
With my head cocked sideways in confusion
As my looking glass became a two-way mirror
And you can watch me hide from everything
On this living sphere
But don't you dare darken my doorstep, stranger
Never a step more
No, no, Nevermore!
You see, I have this reoccurring dream
Where we snuck past scores of slumbering guards
And fixed that rustic iron key to that lock to set you free
"I would bring you liberty!"
Where in reality I'm a coward
I'm collateral matter
Swayed by banalities of time and space
I'm a name without a face
My trepidation reached threshold
And my terror turned to madness
When I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettes
And stumbled out the door
Where my anger was extinguished by this downpour
Compelled, void of volition
My steps propelled through this chronic storm
Where there in the clearing
Throughout the gaps in the trees
Dark smoke flickered from fire illuminating my unease
Like clockwork
Seven sisters turned together in a circle
Autonomy abandoned
They moved singular and perpetual
Around a dark blue flame
Where I heard you call my name
"I am the fire that is never quenched
And I am the river that will not run dry."
When I slept in that garden
Lord did you see me as I was dreaming?
This is the end of everything
We'll lose our divisions and forget our names
The precipice of eternity
I caught fire
I caught fire
I caught fire
And you'll watch me burn
