The Dreams of Lesser Men

Movement I: Aim For Sunrise
(Instrumental)
Movement II: Manifest
In dreams
I can hold you
I can pull you
In threads
In my foresight
Where we both lie in waves
I am living in my mind’s eye
Woken by a feeling
Interrogating me
Dying just to see you
But I know you’re not real
Sometimes I feel the pulling of the tide
Red lines circle all around my work
I know this will kill me in the end
Now every time I see you
I remember you’re not real
I’m walking towards feeling
While walking out to sea
I’ll change
I will come through
You will see
But it seems
The more I tell you
The less you see me
And still this dream’s
All that’s keeping me from breaking
Trapped inside a cycle
I cannot break alone
Finding only something
In a false world that I can’t return from
Movement III: Reveries for Dawn
Pocketed world in my head
Where the girl of my dreams is waiting
Escaping all hurt
I’m intact
In these reveries for dawn
I am staying
Now outside the window
Impermanence smiles
Hoping for time, don’t worry
You’ll find a way to return to the lie
Hours spent at night holding on to your threads
With the entire history of you mapped up inside my head
Give me some time and I’ll lose my mind
Give me a chance and I’ll lose you
Movement IV: Death, and Beyond the Dream
(Instrumental)

Familiar secrets in the dark
Hide away and watch them go
So they don’t know
Push them out as they come in
My façade knows not of friends
Will this end?
I am not in control
I can’t see the cure now
I’m alone in here
I’m alone in this life
Holding out for someone
To break me free from this
I can’t free myself you know
Leave me to my dramatic lies
Your pity’s all that I require
Come back, please notice me again
I just need someone to see me
And release these chains
I can’t see the cure now
I’m alone in here
I’m alone and I know why
Holding out for someone
But I pushed them away and they won’t forgive me
Deep inside the fortress of night
There is a light that shines
And it draws me closer
But even as the light grows
I find my mind betraying me
And quelling the flame again

I can feel it coming
It will light the doorway there
Incentively running
If I believe, it will be clear
This dream controls me
Yet I don't let it come true
Lucidly absent
I slave my mind to you
She breathes her pure love
Like the coming of a spring
Her vision soothes me
These gifts, just time will bring
Another valley
Another day to climb
One day I'll reach there
And then the dream subsides
I saw the skyline melt into the haze
Another night come to take me away
I'll leave the real world to dream of that place
They all keep saying I'll reach there someday
She showed the way then disappeared
Some days I wonder if she was real
Somewhere in time I'll find her
But not if I stay here
The light I've seen here
Is so bright it burns
I can't turn back now
Come with me to the end of the line
I'll live the dream
My own creation
I'll find the place
And then I'll be home

The Regressor
11:15

The water is warm
The mangled hanging rope is worn
Believe it’s all the same
The sand line is drawn
I’m moving towards you, forlorn
Regressing to this state
Let them decay around me
Let them fall down, I don’t care
You know I’m fine without them
I know I’ll always have you there
Until I die
Until I don’t
Another night alone
I open the door to the sea
Dim lighting warms my confines
But won’t answer me
The course of proud lies
I will follow
This silence I dread to change
It’s all that I know
On the way back up I
Stopped to look around
Somewhere back there I lost you but I
Didn’t hear a sound
The biding time
Waiting for you
I am regressing again
I know you only meant well
You compounded pain
I stayed conscious to you
You slowly forgot my face
I never found your likeness
We started to fade
Coming up for air, I
Saw I was alone
Slowly move to one
I held my duress
But I fear
You didn’t know
Let them decay around me
Let them fall down, I don’t care
You know I’m fine without them
I know I’ll always have you there
Into the deep I’m falling
Until I only have myself
Completely isolated
Regress to me and no one else

Waking
02:28
|
|

Step out to the curtains
Open up
I wait for dawn
Now feel in the earth
A firmer grip
I am awaking
Too long I have travelled
In between
Somewhere in limbo
I let all the rain pass
Through my hands
And watched the new day grow
I’ll terraform this sky
I’ll burn the bridge inside
To remain in a place so pure
