Within the expanse of the dreamscape, I suddenly find myself in a small boat, floating on an endless black sea under a dark moonless sky, with no shore visible from any side. From beneath the sea, visions, both beautiful and tormenting, from my past memories float to the surface and then sink again, until eventually I succumb to despair and plunge into the abyss myself.
lyrics
Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
Now I Find Myself
Adrift on an endless sea of black
Surrounded by slithering forms
Ever threatening to attack
Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
This featureless void
With lapping waves
Of pleasure and pain
Driving me insane
My thoughts and memories
Float to the surface
And then sink again down below
Floating
Upon
The Abyss
Of My Subconscious
Shuffling through an endless stream
Of realities
Which one shall be mine to bear?
Each ripple reflecting my own mortality
Rowing on this endless tide
Without a shore on any side
I plunge below...
Drowning (alone on this sea)
Upon (the depths within me)
The abyss (this ocean so deep)
Of my subconscious
