As You Sleep - Psyclon Nine

Cold

Blue

Lifeless

Deathless

Illuminated by the machines

That hold you on this side

Anger or tear

So calm

Unaffected I cease to live

I fear my infection

Watching over your soul as you sleep

Injecting nightmares as you sleep

All I want is you purity

All I want in this world is your mind

The timeless place tamed by your psyche

Living in the world of dreams

Always sleeping unlike the feigned

Peace brought by morphine

That lay discarded at my feet

I float in blackness

Wrench myself away

Down deserted hallways filled with erie light

The muted screams of the dying

Pierced my soul like a dull and rusted needle

As I stumble in my morphine hase Barely conscience of the predawn light

That filters through steel meshed windows

Keeping out your life

Reigning in your death

I stumble past the coated watchers

Break into a run

Yearning for the air outside

I never stop thinking of you
