lyrics

OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
I KNOW NOW WHAT I SHOULD NOT
OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
I'VE FOUND OUT WHAT I SHOULD NOT
NOW IM LOOKING AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR
I WONDER WHAT MY FACE WOULD LIKE WITHOUT A NOSE ON IT
THERE ARE WORLDS BETWEEN OUR WORLDS
WHERE UNIMAGINED THINGS DWELL
A TWILIGHT ABYSMAL SWIRL
THERE ARE WORLDS JUST BENEATH OUR WORLD
AND IF YOU CRACK THE SURFACE
A MEGALITHIC LAND UNFURLS
FORMULAIC ANGLES DRAWN IN CHALK
MATHEMATICS MIXED WITH FANTASTIC
LEGENDS OF ELDER MAGIC
IF I CAN CRACK THE CODE AND TAKE THE OATH
SEE IF I CAN PHASE SHIFT
DRIFT THROUGH THE INFINITE
OH GOD ITS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT
IVE FOUND OUT WHAT SHOULD NOT
NOW I'M LIKE A SICK SENSITIVE SHADOW WRITHING IN HANDS THAT ARE NOT HANDS
WHIRLING BLINDLY PAST MIDNIGHTS OF ROTTING CREATION
THEY’RE CRAWLING
I AM THE RATS IN THE WALLS
WE’RE CRAWLING
THE TICKING CLOCK SOUNDS LIKE ARTILLERY FIRE
DID THE FEVER BRING ON THE DREAMS
OR IS THE FEVER WHAT THE DREAMS INSPIRE
