This track describes the main storyline of my fever dream. I thought that my brain was splitting into two parts, and that the other, stronger, evil side was taking over both parts. He was a force that had been locked away my whole life and had grown strong and angry over the years of imprisonment. I had to convince myself to fight back and keep that angry side locked away for the good of the whole world.
lyrics
Headache splitting right through me,
I feel a fault dividing up my brain,
Awake, something is being born unto all the world,
To take control and hold unholy reign,
And you will be the one who saves us,
Despite your recent failures,
It’s true you see the son forgave us,
For keeping him in jail,
And you will come undone before us,
Tonight he pulls the thread,
Review what you’ve become and cry for us,
He chooses us instead,
Oh god, what have I created?
So strong it stands, the other half of me,
Unite, don’t act so jaded,
Freedom comes to those who can agree,
But you must be the one who saves us,
There’s just no other way,
It’s true you see no one can blame us,
For needing to obey,
Chorus:
I can only take so much enforced responsibility,
Before I start to crack again from all the pressure dealt to me,
So bring along the masking tape and pack some extra super glue,
I need to be repaired or there is nothing I can do for you,
So one more time explain again why you can’t do this on your own,
I’m really doing all I can to let my conscience grow atoned,
To drown the guilt I feel because my other half sits on his thrown,
We just can’t watch as he takes control,
We just can’t extol,
That side of my soul,
Beware a mind divided,
It takes a frightening form bottled away,
Please share all that you are hiding,
The silver son and sin, in this we pray,
That you will be the one who saves us,
And save himself as well,
It’s true that it’s the son who craves us,
And needs us to rebel,
(Chorus)
I’ve locked myself away in this room,
This raided out tomb,
Where he was exhumed,
Here both halves consumed,
Back into the womb,
