Sublevels - Meshuggah

Back again within myself

Asleep but aware, I’m lost again

Every time I close my eyes

I enter the dream to which i’m strained

A sudden change into a state

Where life is dust and everything flows

Circling above swirling seas

Of eyes upraised toward the unknown

Vapor masques in the leaden air

Unleashed by death in a grubby dawn

Vacant faces reflecting sorrow

Hidden inside senses disowned

A maze of glass shattered by thoughts

Of a faltered soul freed in bliss

Clouds disperse revealing shades

Tempting my soul i can’t resist

A vision of morbidity

Of ragged silent shadows dressed in black disease

They’re closing up on me

Peering, lifeless, weary eyes

They drag me down into another world inside of me

Paralyzed

By the view

Hypnotized

Let me wake

Mesmerized by the flames as I return into myself

A slow conversion

A silent change

I wake into the brightened day
