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 It 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
