The Subconscious Dweller

1.

 

An escape beckons,

A slow and dark reunion,

It's calling me once more,

The chains have been broken.

 

2.

 

The savage stands upon the distant mound,

A bearded smile, a laughing frown,

And from the peyote trance comes the ancient dance,

Heads on fire!

Transparent funeral pyre.

And so begins the long, slow and frightening fall into divine madness.

 

3.

 

How good it is to be back among the insane,

The oceans of hallucinations running amok inside my brain,

The subconscious dweller has returned,

Relighting the quiet inferno,

The songs of ambience ooze from every flame,

Expanding paranoid thought,

Bequeathing forgotten demons,

From the shadows back into the game.
