Album: Expectational Dilution (1994)

Faceless


I started the dominos tumbling but it's not my fault they said
So the images were pushed down deep
I know I held the gun to their head
Faceless people wander through my dreams
Searching for lives they once knew
Reminding me of how I murdered their souls
How I tore them apart sustantainiously

Why can't I just turn it off?
Tune it out forever
Blind my eyes from all that noise
There is no light, there is no shelter

My dreams are the most uncontrollable substance
They are illusions beckoning behind the steel door
Scratching and gauging at the smooth surface
Cracking loose the hinges and scattering across the floor
How can I refuse such a perfect invitation
Invitation of faceless bliss
Drifting away to unlock those demons inside
Haunting night after night
Digressing my humanity

Chared bits of reality lay in the wasteland of my thoughts
Where the dead arise and the living don't matter
My feeling for life escapes the bounds of reality
All this I have brought upon myself, a reactor
