A boiling sea A bird in flight A whale beset by flies A hungry dog Marauds the beach Limping cold and blind You just can't place The blurry face A woman wearing blue A painting dripping Off the wall A melting bride and groom There's something black and blue just out of hand You're running but you're sinking in the sand It's gaining on you, your legs are stiff as death You feel it's stinking breath upon your neck This must be a dream Oh this must be a dream Tell me it's a fleeting thing Say this isn't happening This must be a dream A rotting man with hollow eyes hobbling across the beach Shambling like an amputee Or prehistoric beast A million miles a million more Off beyond the sea Forgotten now forever, there the void beyond the dream Clouds are swelling darkness far away Spreading like some pestilent decay The wind is whirling sand into your eyes A maelstrom is pulling you inside This must be a dream Oh this must be a dream Tell me it's a fleeting thing Say this isn't happening This must be a dream

The Orphan 02:52
4.
I never meant to make you cry Cross my heart and hope to die But now we’re here, this wretched place Where land evades all time and space And now I lay thee down to sleep No dreams to come, no counting sheep You’ll soon depart this bivouac And swim the silent seas of black I’ve lost the fight, the will to carry on Because I’m already gone I never thought the trip would be so long Because I’m already gone
5.
Through corridors With bloody floors comes a light from far away Amidst the fog awaits a dog Watching through the gray I got nothin left to lose I'm scared to see it through There's shadows floating all around this room Insatiable these thirsty thoughts The she loves me's and she loves me nots The last thing that I'd ever wanna see I wish I will I wish I might I wish I'd slip away tonight All that was will never cease to be The dog takes flight Towards the light His form is growing small I'll chase him down The measly hound But my legs won't move at all There's a demon on my chest Sucking out my breath Just let me see you before the bitter end Let me see you again Insatiable these thirsty thoughts The she loves me's and she loves me nots The last thing that I'd ever wanna see I wish I will I wish I might I wish I'd slip away tonight All that was will never cease to be

Credits Roll 03:43
Tell me there's another part These credits tear apart my heart They're walking back to all their cars This can't be how it ends There's shadows moving up the wall One shaped the way I last recall You looked when I in love did fall This can't be how it ends Just let it happen Just let it happen Just let me hoooold you one last time Before you're lost to ocean brine And the moon and stars forget to shine This can't be how it ends I saw your feet in striped socks Curling underneath the spot The house had claimed its wicked plot This can't be how it ends The twister's here, the cellar door A picture of you on the floor Up above the heavens roar This can't be how it ends Could you visit as a ghost In fevered dreams I'll diagnose It's that crooked smile I'll miss the most This can't be how it ends I'm begging you, just stay with me Don't play along with this cosmic scheme You disappeared so beautifully This can't be how it ends Lying dying hand in hand Your dusty portrait on our nightstand What god could rob me from this plan? This can't be how it ends

The darkening The clouds are swelling on the sea Where the whitecaps roll and underneath abyss and cold A creature there Falling slowly through the deep Awaits the gnashing jaws, the mandibles and scuttling claws I never could surrender to the void But comatose my struggles maladroit I've made my peace And now I'm finally free
