Dreams are real life ; life's a night..
Where is she when she's not by my side?
Where is she, well she's not..
Dreams are real life ; life's a nightmare
Dreams are real like life's a nightmare
Dreams are real life ; life's a nightmare
And I'm sick of feeling sick
Every time I feel an empty spot in my bed
That place where she'd rest her head on my chest while I'm asleep
And she isn't even there!
Then why can I still feel her hair
Draped around my neck and the scent drifting up from my chest?
And I don't ever want to feel a woman's head against my chest unless
I can feel the feeling that I felt in that dream that I dreamt
Why do I find myself trying to find the time to lie down and rest my eyes
Because I can not find satisfaction in this life
Why do I find myself trying to find the time to lie down and rest my eyes
Because I aspire to find,
Aspire to find that absolution
And I know that it's just an illusion
But ignorance is bliss and as long as I'm unconcious
I'm convinced that this, THIS, is the real thing
You're like a light from the sky inside my mind
That I can't seem to find in waking life
You're like the light that shines bright each night
Behind my eyes in a different light
It's like you found a door on the back of my head
And inside you found a bed
And still you chose to lie there alone each night
But if I could find some way to crawl inside my head
I'd be sure that I'd lie there with you instead
Of having to fight this night life fight each night
Becuase I've been waiting to fall asleep each day
For much longer than you'd want me to explain
But I still remember, but I can't remember you
It's when I can't fall asleep at night
That's when I fight the night life fight
Because I can't remember ever remembering you

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego
