All the world's asleep, I walk around instead | |||
Lucid memories, down the halls of my head | |||

Floor shifts out, from the center of the room | |||
Slides beneath the wall, things are falling to their doom | |||
Spirits, hopes, and energies are sucked in to the floor | |||
I'm trapped against the wall that stands opposite the door | |||
Then a black wire, comes out of the outlet by my leg | |||
Keeping me in place, no matter how much I would beg | |||
So I reach out, no more logic, no more facts | |||
