False Awakening by The Devouring Void Lyrics

The weight of sleep
Pervades her waning senses;
Ghost-like shadows seep through the fog
Of her perception

A part of two worlds
Yet hardly part of either
Gently veiled
By somnolescence
Sleep draws her deeper
As the voices dim

And without a whisper
She’s drawn beyond the veil
Passing through the gates of praedomitium
Received by slumber’s arms

A false awakening
Am I asleep and dreaming?
The room contorting beforе me
Pre-lucid and fleeting, I glance at familiar scеnes
Unfamiliarly with great trepidation and fear
Trying to make sense of this solipsistic nightmare

And through the uneven passage of time
A quietude once again seeps through her mind

Stands at the precipice
Our scene-change precipitous
One fatal misstep carelessly

Much like cursed Icarus
Wind whipping merciless
Left to the whim of gravity

At terminal velocity

Until the point of impact

Abruptly woken
Coalescing lucidity

Breathless but emboldened
Palpitations begin to cease

It was all just a dream
All just a dream
