This track in particular acts as a denouement of the hallucinations. It sums up the confusion and self doubt felt as the hallucinations reached their peak. After believing that my brain was split in two, and that the two sides were fighting each other for control, I look around the room and struggle to know what is real and what isn't. I'm longing to go outside, but I'm afraid to leave my room. As my brain starts to cool off and join back into one piece, I begin to finally find sleep in the mental chaos.
lyrics
Take this laughter away,
It doesn't fit the mood that's on display,
And my mind's in dismay
I'm hallucinating more decay,
Crammed in this room it's so cold,
All the walls stand tall akin with mold,
Gracefully grown from below,
Tiny blades of grass poke through my floor,
Ooo it feels so sweet,
poking wet and welcomed on my feet,
Who will reap this wheat,
who will sweat to succumb to this heat.
Ow, my joints still ache,
They get worse with every step I take,
How did I mistake,
This sleeping world as me awake?
Why can't I get out,
So much junk has piled up my route,
And with each punch and clout,
My mind fills up a little more with doubt,
Did I do this alone?
Did I deter to sink these stepping stones?
And my weakness has shown,
I'm this afraid of facing the unknown,
Sleep is hard when I roll and I roll
Despondency keeps me moving,
Maimed and marred, no I cannot control,
a single cell inside my form,
All this time you just smile and laugh,
You watch as I reel in pain,
One handed I reach for your calf,
But you manage to stay out of reach,
Low, I cannot leave my home,
I cannot leave it, no
I can't believe it no, I'm too comfortable,
So, I forced myself to grow,
And may the fact be known,
That I'm too comfortable,
These are urges you must fight, forlorn
For you will not escape tonight, We mourn,
The fact that you keep trying to right this wrong,
That caused your being to insight this song,
