Through The Valley

I've picked up your signal
Where are you in the mall?
You say
"Save me Cassie!"
Do you have the faith in me?

Crouching through hallways
The vents start to creak under me
They are lurking
With eyes on the walls
All seeing

Through the shadow valley
I sing my way to sleep
Down the corridor
Is the one who's mocking me
Are you really there
Or is this just a bad dream?
Find a pathway through the wreckage
And break my reality
Through the protocols
And the optical recluse
The illusions lead her
Through endless maze and ruse
Like cats and mice
There are no more ways to run
She was never meant to find
But here we are in the ruin

What is real?
What is fake?
Am I even awake?
What happened to this place?
I don't think it was earthquakes
Should I deactivate
The very one
Who kept me safe
I think it's my time to leave
But your voice convinces me

Descend in madness
The rabbit hole
Beckons to me
Revealing all the horror
Of mimicry

Through the virtual
And the virtue of your goal
Here to save your friend
But he isn't here at all
I'm not sad to say
When you're so easily swayed
Take the pill
And swallow whole
You now define delusional

Now the mother cries
As her son falls to demise
The lullaby faded
And so did all his cries
There are no more endings
Where you live on to sing
Make-up runs
While you're alone
That "helping hand" has turned to gold

Through the shadow valley
I sing my way to sleep
Down the corridor
Is the one who's mocking me
Are you really there
Or is this just a bad dream?
Find a pathway
Through the wreckage
And break my reality
Through the protocols
And the optical recluse
The illusions lead her
Through endless maze and ruse
Like cats and mice
There are no more ways to run
She was never meant to find
But here we are
In the ruin
