Subconscious

I’m in a dream, don’t know what I see,
I look around and try to flee.
I’m trapped inside this make-believe
It’s just a sea of all my griefs.
A dream of hate, it’s way too late
To move around and try to make
A sense of life, we dream at night
And all we see is a broken light.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
These lyrics in my mind
My subconscious is some kind
Of lyric-churning, ink machine –
I don’t know how to find a way
To bring these lyrics out.
I’m going around in circles
Waking up, but am I out?
I’ve often found dreams deceiving,
Lyric’s leaving,
Going now, no longer dreaming.
This song was perfect in my mind,
Woke up, now I find,
There’s nothing left, just a failed attempt
To remember what’s in my mind.
Welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
This song’s a rant without a plan,
A rant against the things of chance.
But is chance a thing, does stuff happen
In a random order, or in a pattern?
Cause if chance is all, how can you fall
Away from right and let wrong control?
And what is wrong if there is no right?
How is this dark if there is no light?
How can I think if I have no soul?
Is there chance, or a certain role?
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.
So welcome to my subconscious
Where you meet my brain instead.
You thought you could find my dream
But you’re lost inside my head.

The Idealist
03:00
|

|
He makes his plans every day
Thinking that they will all work out his way.
He lives his life in a scene,
He's always awake but still lost in a dream.
'Cause he has time on his hands
To make all these idealist plans,
But they don't ever come true,
But he lives on thinking up new ones.
He courts the way that he pleases
And soon finds the girl of his dreams.
But it turns out she's not quite so perfect -
Disillusion, he cries and he grieves.
'Cause he has time on his hands
To make all these idealist plans,
But they don't ever come true,
But he lives on thinking up new ones.
He has plans for everything
And of his lands he is the only king.
But soon there comes a rebel
To take his throne.
His weapon is harsh truth
Which turns our friend to stone.
'Cause he had time on his hands
To make all those idealist plans.
But they didn't ever come true
And he died and was buried
But nobody knew him.

Far From Home
03:18
|

This last shot I shot at myself
But it didn't go well, it impaired my health
And now I'm sitting here wondering why
I decided it was time to die.
The life I have's not bad,
It must be my demon who drove me mad
And now I'm running out of time
To remove him from my mind.
I can't do this alone
Now I'm far from home,
So please come back to me
And I will find what I need
But I've asked you this before
You say you can't anymore
So I must try alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I've been on this road to many days,
My feet are tired as I near my grave.
I'm closer now, but so afraid
And then I think: "Just go away."
I tell myself: "Your time has come
You're here now, no need to run.
Don't be afraid - you're here to stay.
This is the only way.
Only think, you've come this far
Why not see what's beyond the stars?
Why not find out who was right?
Go ahead, pass into the night."
Pass into the night.
Pass into the night.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
Now I'm far from home.
Now I'm far from
Can't you see? Without you here
I cannot face my self-made fears,
I cannot win this fight alone
Now I'm far from home.
I don't want you here against your will,
I just wish you'd see: I need you still.
You were all I had and now you're gone.
Is that why you saw what we had as wrong?
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
I cannot win this fight alone,
Now I'm far from home.
Now I'm far from home.
Now I'm far from home.
Now I'm far from.

Empty Room
04:05
|

So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.
So go away, please go away,
Just go away, please go away.
These empty walls close in on me
There's nowhere I can flee
From the terrors of sleep
And the demon that will keep
Telling me how worthlessly
I've lived my life, I need to see
I need to leave
I will scream: "Go away!
Please leave me alone.
I don't want you any more,
My mind is not your home."
But I am weak and he is strong
And tomorrow you'll find that I am gone.
So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.
So go away, please go away,
Just go away, please go away.
The walls are empty, but filled with dread
I'm reminded of the past and all the things unsaid
I sit on the floor and count each breath
Hoping in vain that there's something left.
But nothing comes and I sit here still
Hoping for something that will begin to fill
This empty room and empty mind
A letter's pushed in and then I find
That my last friend has packed his bag
And taken a trip to the other side.
So I hold my head and feel insane
For mourning over what was just a game.
I raise my head and look around
For a distraction that will quell the sound
Of a voice in my mind, as it draws the line
And says: "Step over, you'll be fine!"
So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.
I don't want to be in this empty room.
I'm cornered by one that's cruel.
I want to flee, but there's nowhere to.
Is this really who I am? Am I really a fool?
I don't want to be in this empty room.
I'm cornered by one that's cruel.
I want to flee, but there's nowhere to.
Is this really who I am? Am I really a fool?
So I sit in this empty room and prepare for the fight
He's stronger than I am and well equipped with lies.
I know that if I go it won't be my choice.
There's a war in my head and it's drowning my voice.
Please leave me alone, I don't want you anymore.
My mind is not your home and I've told you this before.
Please leave me alone, I don't want you anymore.
My mind is not your home and I've told you this before.

Say You're Here
05:27
|
|||
|
I feel my thoughts, I feel my head
Struggling to contain everything unsaid.
These words I have not spoken yet
I hide from you a fear that's left.
Every night I sit down and start to struggle with my doubt.
I tell myself it's fine 'till I turn the lights out.
Then darkness overwhelms me and my fears creep in again.
The voices in my head awaken and tell me it should end.
And I know there's no need to go,
But I'm still scared to be alone.
So please come back and say you're here
My hope's now covered by my fears.
I sometimes sleep and then I'll dream
And what I see I call "make-believe."
It's sometimes true, I'll dream of you
Then wake up and fight the truth.
I wake up every morning and then I wonder why
I slept at all last night, 'cause my fears still reach the sky.
I'm afraid of everything, I think how can it be
That I feel safer indoors than where the wind blows free.
And I know there's no need to go,
But I'm still scared to be alone.
So please come back and say you're here
My hope's now covered by my fears.
I need to find a way to tell you I've gone away.
I need to find a way to tell you I've gone away.
And I know there's no need to go,
But I'm still scared to be alone.
So please come back and say you're here
My hope's now covered by my fears.
And I know there's no need to go,
But I'm still scared to be alone.
So please come back and say you're here
My hope's now covered by my fears.

Broken Soldiers New York, New York
One of the most amazing things about creativity is its ability to turn a negative situation, a negative moment or mindset, into something positive. Because when you create something and can sit back and think to yourself "I made that" it can be truly inspiring. That is what this music is for me and hopefully, by listening, you can find that inspiration too. Stay Positive. |><| ... more
