about
A play on the phrase "a stream-of-consciousness." Dreaming so vividly you believe it's real at the time. Then waking unrested because you were more active in the dream world than you thought.
An active mind does not rest the body when asleep.
lyrics
A nightmare is a thing you don’t understand
It takes you to a world
A foreign land
Vivid dreams of color
Night terrors so real
Lost in a state of what you feel
Crawing through shadows and dark alleyways
Like like walking through water
A memory haze
Faces are blurry though I know who they are
Conversations in silence
No words after dark
A dream of consciousness
Subconscious and meaningless
Awake so weary and due to unrest
A dream of consciousness
At night time there’s a shadow that stands on the wall
If I stare too long it starts to crawl
If lucid dreams are real
Why do they exist?
Realistic illusion
Physical with a twist
Chaos in the mind in the hours so late
No flow or order
No means of escape
Dreams are premonitions of the astral plane world
But the vision fades quickly upon your return
A dream of consciousness
Subconscious and meaningless
Awake so weary and due to unrest
A dream of consciousness
Can you help me?
Can you save me?
Can you find me in all this debris?
Can you take me?
Can you wake me?
Remember nothing is what it seems
All I recall nothing at all
All forgotten and all is a waste
With such an effort of brain function
In an unconscious state
Uncontrollable stream of thought I provoke
A shock to the system
I awoke
Imagination astounding prevails
A descent into madness of a dark tale
A dream of consciousness
Subconscious and meaningless
Awake so weary and due to unrest
A dream of consciousness
A dream of consciousness
Subliminal and senseless
Alive and leary and often distressed
A dream of consciousness
