Figures on the ceiling / shadows down the hall / Close my eyes and see them fly / in my dreams they grow so tall / Listen / Can you hear? / They crawl into my inner mind / black as onyx, 8 legs long / something that I’ve left behind / Spinning Lines / Catching Flies

There’s two sides to this world / One is up and one is down / So I pushed on through this wall of fog / and blue skies cleared my mind / Alone my body flies, I sure wish you were around / Yes, I’ll meet you on the other side, but coming down takes time…

As I floated to the surface / I couldn’t help but notice / The shining beams of light burst through the water / Underwater’s not so bad / The water sooths me through / I’ll never see the friends I once had / Things percieved are now surreal / Living underwater I congeal

I never really had to wonder where I’d want to go / It always seemed, since I was ten, if someone asked I’d know / I’ve said I want to be a cartoon: we can have our duel at high noon / You can drop things on my head / But nothing that you do can make me dead.
