137 (us) - adventures in lemnos, pt. 2 lyrics

from chalice sleep, i take oneiric sips
and look up to the ceiling finding sky
and then i feel a river running near
but i can’t see it with my glasses on
so i proceed to take them off my face
and then i trek through land of morn’s defeat

taking a trip to lemnos
so i can drink with hypnos
and have a couple shadows dance in darkness
while i compose
hearing the truth embedded in mythos
and making the free throws
in basket of my hopes and aspirations

sooner drown then find river elation
scene of pandemonium
rococo degradation
but i will freeze within the desеrt seeking revelation
so that the poеms you read from me are soul’s reverberation
ken chasin’

night, was evinced
to my two inner eyes
and it sought me as a prince
sight, not convinced
but i know it’s no surprise
that our eyes act as a fence

one told me that the truth i write above
here sounds obscene
and, i should tone it down
lest i do cause a rowdy scene
but, i don’t serve the shadows by that river
merely serve them words so i can make their figures shiver
bl++dy but i do deliver

then i met another soul by the water and he said
“i can tell you don’t belong here, you should really be in bed
since you are, i’ll look in your head”
and, grabbing both my ears, these verbatim words he fed
“imma look into your sleep to see the dreams that sandman leaves
cutting deep into your forest seeing blood upon its leaves
looking so deep into psyche
finding the loving and angry
parts of your personality
looking over your mentality”

“stop, i don’t want to listen to this
i’ve indulged you long enough
it’s time to cease and desist
i really insist”
then i saw him retreat, until amongst the dancing silhouettes
pirouettes amidst the mist
met a siren by the bankside
and she beckoned me alongside
but i did not go

you either wade within mnemosyne
or drown within the river lethe
either road you’re rowed

on i did go
closer to paunch of the beast
closer to heart of the feast
lava did flow
i did not fear in the least
still understood what could soon be soon unleashed

got to take a look
into darkened brook
after bl++dy donnybrook
with a hundred shadows haunting dark did cook

after traveling a while
i stumbled upon a cave, appearing to be somebody’s domicile
so i walked in, to see if it belonged to whom i’m searching for
and i found him, what happened next is truly fit for lore

“see you haven’t popped a poppy
by the lethe
you can call me papi
or daddy sleepy
now that i’m awake
i’m going to share with you a couple things
reason why people shy away from the truth is that it stings

life’s a library
gory stories on the shelf
climb the bookcase at the risk of your health
so much to peruse if you’re willing to bruise
flip through the pages so to find your wealth

have to prance among the roses even if allergic to flowers
gotta go dancing in the rain, even if you drown in its showers”

then i replied
and said
“the window’s closing
if you have a final remark
i’d say it right now
i’m listening”

“beware the oneirivores
they’ll suck your dreams right out your pours
smelling hope’s scent right upon your skin
they’ll slurp soul dry of its reservoir”

day, was conveyed
to my two outer eyes
and it sought my flesh to be flayed

see, what i’ve made
and despite the price
i’m still glad that i paid
