Songtext von Mesmerized

Safe in your bed when sleep overcomes you Do you yearn for insensibility? Seeking a refuge amidst the chaos Consciously escaping reality Do you resurface from a dark daydream? Choking on someone else’s stifled scream Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized Do you wake as screams shatter the silence? Held captive to nightmares of things to come Chilled to the bone, shaken to the core Wishing for the solace of oblivion Do you awaken from a reverie? Remembering something you’ve never seen Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized When you fall asleep do you lose control? Revisit places you’ve not been before Do you cry for no apparent reason? Do you sense that something is wrong? Do you not see the other rising? As it takes over everything Does the apprehension come from outside Or does the dread come from in your own mind? Looking at the world through another’s eyes Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized Touch, taste, sound, smell and something else Somewhat outré but recognizable On the brink of sight, drawn to the edge of night Following a sylph into the unknown
