Paradigm Trigger

The sound of static
White noise
Pixelated scenes I don't recognize
The void behind the eyes
Lost in a lucid nightmare
Illuminate the teeth
That dig into the mind
Violent and vacant
Separate the heart from the spine
Eternal oblivion
A labyrinth built with no escape
Eternal oblivion
Permanence feeds the conscious fades
The white noise calls out to me
Paralyzing
Underneath my skin
I pulled the chord until I found the end
Where dreams suffocate
Glimpses of a grave unmarked
No pulse from a failing heart
A knife in the dark
Numbed every nerve
But it was easy to remember the ways it hurt
They can't get much worse
As I lay parallel to this earth
I felt my body detach from my soul
Distorted visions of a place I've been afraid to go
The white noise on repeat
Calling me home
The sound of static suspended in time
The void behind the eyes
Underneath my skin
I pulled the chord until I found the end
(Where dreams suffocate)
Glimpses of a grave unmarked
No pulse from a failing heart
A knife in the dark
Separate the heart from the spine
