Slipping Into A Coma

i can run around this whole world
but i've still only seen what is before me
and if i sleep i can dream endless mountains
and love incarnate will brush my skin against hers
and it's all i need to lay my restless brain to sleep

it's not always a dream in my head
i have nightmares that infiltrate my body and soul
infecting it with horrors and wrong desires
and when i turn off the lights
i hope to someone i don't leave this world
and come back a different man

change is a constant in life
without change there is no progress
tradition isn't wrong
but it certainly isn't right
if it's destroying what little of you
you have left

i'd much rather stay than go
i'd always rather run than hide
and if i am to die before i wake
know that i loved with a broken heart
with broken thoughts that will linger forever in the dark
