A Beautiful Nightmare

by Jon Shuemaker

1.
I never wanted any of this A beautiful nightmare to forget The blood was spilt Over poured milk Now baking in the Sun I don't know where I am I don't know who I am Drifting into nightmare Drifting into nightmare I don't know where I am I don't know who I am The hour-hand recreates but rectifies I slowly see into the grand design I see shadows on my eyelids I don't want this dream no more I don't want this dream no more Erase it from my memory bank So I can escape Erase it from my memory bank So I can escape Burn it out like cigarette ash Led down a trail of gasoline You think you know You think you know But you don't know But you don't know In the middle of a giant insect stampede I have the weirdest dreams (weirdest dreams) I think you know I think you know Burn it out Don't lose ground control Off autopilot It's time to go Simulation disengage Simulation disengage Don't lose ground control Don't lose ground control Get off autopilot It's time to go Simulation disengage Burn it out like cigarette ash Led down a trail of gasoline You think you know You think you know In the middle of a giant insect stampede I have the weirdest dreams I think you know

I'm floating in the darkest black A blanket of ambience fills the scene I feel like I can do anything here With these visions so serene I'm floating in the darkest black A blanket of ambience fills the scene A blanket of ambience fills the scene A movie in my own mind Or is it a gateway to another life? Questioning the timeline When there is no time And no need for eyes for sight I'm going blind Inside my mind Nosedive Nosedive I can rob a bank and not get caught In my dreams there's no need for laws I dodge bullets I'm superhuman I live, I live, I live beyond definition Enter a world of true magic Don't need no pot, don't need no acid A superhero I'm superhuman I live, I live, I live beyond explanation I live beyond definition It is beyond explanation (I live beyond, the great beyond) I live beyond, the great beyond I live beyond, the great beyond Like a dream within a dream Like pictures from the movie screen It's your head, it's in my head It's in your mind, It's in my mind Are you alive? Are you alive? Each night we die only to be born again Only to relight the flame It's all too strange It's all too strange I know it's all a dream But things aren't always what they seem I know it's all but a dream Things aren't always what they seem
