lyrics

I woke up from a fever. I was flying down the highway on a Greyhound bus. Feeling like a fly on a ribbon, breathing recycled air. I woke up from a nightmare. I was standing in a gas station parking lot. Listening to the cicadas hum away another day.
I was up to my waist in the grave, in a tangle at the bottom of a bag. I was crawling through the wires and the glass, trying to make my way through all that dead space. Then I was staring out upon the great divide with acid tears in my eyes. All full of shadows and holes trying hard just to let in a little light.
I woke up from a bad thought. Every single thing I touched would turn to rust. I was feeling as hopeless and helpless as a fly in a web. I woke up from a vision. I was staring in horror through the war, as it unfolded like a terrible flower. Spitting flames and leaving everything burnt in it’s wake.
Well it was all white flags of retreat, empty husks and howls on the breeze. I was wading my way through the ash, trying not to hear the static and death.Then I was caught under an evil spell, hoping to drown in the wishing well. I was laughing half way down to hell, to clashing swords and the chiming of the bells.
