As You Sleep

Cold blue Lifeless Deathless Illuminated by the machines That hold you on this side Anger or tear So calm Unaffected I cease to live I fear my infection Watching over your soul as you sleep Injecting nightmares as you sleep All I want is your purity All I want in this world is your mind The timeless place tamed by your psyche Living in the world of dreams Always sleeping - unlike the feigned Peace brought by morphine That lay discarded at my feet I float in blackness Wrench myself away Down deserted hallways filled with erie light The muted screams of the dying Pierced my soul like a dull and rusted needle As I stumble in my morphine haze Barely conscience of the predawn light That filters through steel meshed windows Keeping out your life Reigning in your death I stumble past the coated watchers Break into a run Yearning for the air outside I never stop thinking of you Cold blue Lifeless Deathless Illuminated by the machines That hold you on this side Anger or tear So calm Unaffected I cease to live I fear my infection Watching over your soul as you sleep Injecting nightmares as you sleep
