Identifying Dreams

Slipping into a burning dream Within the silence, within disease The past and future undeclared Proclaimed a reason to never care Witness nothing in this place The secret emptiness of space Beyond my portrait; past this night There hides a passion to kill the light Sliding into deserted shame Within the nothing, within the pain The ways I see you in my mind Leaves such hatred left inside Witness only the thing I am The creature no-one understands And through the painting of my soul This grand illusion will only grow Fading into the broken scene The monster carving this burning dream Solely focused on painting lies Its eyes absorbing my dying light Soul now shimmers, wakes my heart The creature crawling into the dark And every monster I’ve ever been Is purified by the truth I’ve seen
