Lyrics
I dreamt of heaven once
I had a dream about heaven
It was a calm cool and miserable place
Heaven was serene but also unpleasant
All my friends were under the fire
All my friends were experiencing hardship or conflict
I could not make out a face
I couldn't recognize anyone's face
I was trapped with the holiest men
I was stuck with extremely virtuous individuals
The ultimate punch line to an ironic end
This situation was the ironic conclusion or punch line
I screamed in my torment and writhed in my pain
I yelled in agony and contorted in pain
As the angels did bathe me with heaven again
Angels were supposedly cleansing me with heaven again
There is no earthly way of knowing
No certainty about our current direction
Which direction we are going
We lack clear guidance
Not a speck of light is showing
No visible signs of hope or enlightenment
So the danger must be growing
The perceived danger is increasing
I draw inspiration from the micro dreams
Deriving inspiration from small dreams
That twitch the body before the entering
Twitches before entering a state of sleep
We pull ourselves into a callous induced sleep
We willingly succumb to a numbing sleep induced by callousness
Swallowed by the years of undigested beatings
Consumed by the accumulated beatings over the years
In this place you reek of fear
In this place, fear is pervasive
Deserved malaise
An earned sense of discomfort or discontent
Light is gone with shedding grace
Light and grace have departed
And God has backed away
The presence of God has retreated
Free yourself from your own mind
Liberate yourself from your own thoughts
Break yourself from your own mind
Free yourself from the constraints of your own mind
Not a speck of light is showing
No visible signs of hope or enlightenment (repeated)
So the danger must be growing
The perceived danger is increasing (repeated)
In this place you reek of fear
In this place, fear is pervasive (repeated)
Deserved the horrors of life
Deservedly facing the horrors of life
