Slumber Asylum

This stain on the wall

Is a picture of my soul

So dirty and ashamed

Neither free nor tamed

Carving my beliefs into stone

Burying my own existence

Never ascending to the throne

Forever far in the... Distance

Falling deeper and deeper

Into the realms of slumber

Abandoning this filthy abyss

Turning my dreams into glorious bliss

Sleep all night and day

Trying to dream the dream again

Another beast to keep at bay

Another move to rid the pain

Though reality makes its way

My feet made of clay

My body so painful

I have been such a fool

Eyelids heavy like lead

Mysterious consciousness

Between the living and the dead

Transcending my acuteness
