Story Behind the Song
The motivation for this song is from a dream that my girlfriend had. The dream was terribly frightening and filled me with dread. I wrote the song as a dedication to my true love and the dream god Morpheus...
Lyrics
(ill-gotten)
Wilted lines fade across dark pages
lonely words fail in disuse.
falling confusions never seemed undone
taken back is not the truth
attacking, removing but smiling half-broken
is why we’re bleeding from all sides.
where you dream isn’t up to you
hollowed tears are so untrue,
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
They’ve gone to ground speaking two tongues instead.
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
Don’t listen, please listen to the voices in your head.
falsehoods have fallen down from scriptures
like a resurrection in reverse.
disarming-misguided and fingering refuse.
taken back is not the truth,
Passed in wreckage fall all to fast
moving crawl-spaces in your mind.
doors here-erect for back turning now have no way for you to find.
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
They’ve gone to ground speaking two tongues instead.
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
Don’t listen, please listen to the voices in your head.
attending ones that you cannot ignore
those lovely corpses sing so free,
add another victim to chamber-one
prostrating to come, a Mother soon to-be,
have to feed baby or she will die
call to cadaver’s fluid another try
cracking voice in a muted shout
pleading in vein for someway out,
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
They’ve gone to ground speaking two tongues instead.
There’s no response to sentient things already dead
Don’t listen, please listen to the voices in your head
there’s no response to sentient things already dead.
They’ve gone to ground speaking two tongues instead.
There’s no response to sentient things already dead.
Don’t listen, don’t listen to voices in your head.
