lyrics

I was not awake
I was not asleep
I had kept my head
buried underneath

Underneath a heavy layer
of blankets and sheets
It was a simple machine
to shield me from my dreams

I lay paralyzed
terrified of night
dreading even more
the flood of daylight

I could feel a heavy weight
suspended above my head
It was shaped like the machine
that tears through all my dreams
machine that tears through all my dreams
and tears through all my dreams

I lay on a line
a vector pointing south
and I could not control
the words coming from my mouth

I was guided by a force
I could not see
as answer after answer
came to me
like an old memory

I was not awake
I was not asleep
I kept my eyes on
a point in front of me

I still felt that heavy weight
suspended above my head
It was shaped like the machine
that tears through all my dreams
machine that tears through all my dreams
and tears through all my
dreams that tears through all
my dreams
and tears through all my dreams
