Desolation Dreams

from A Sky Full of Ghosts by Sonus Umbra

/

lyrics

I can’t recall how long since I became aware
No days no nights, just pulsing lights disturbing my despair
I’d run away if I could find a way

I’ve lost the will to live but will I still survive?
Entangled in her web, machines are keeping me alive
Feeding me beguiling memories
Visions of distant home

What was home
The streets I used to roam
Or was I misinformed?

Pictures fade
Doubts invade
As memories degrade
In a vain charade
Of a life mislaid on the way

I’m falling through a nightmare
Of endless skies
My desolation dreams of childhood elegies and lies
As ghosts of dying stars engulf my eyes

And nothing ever changes
Mourning never breaks
Hallucinating phantom friends, a family of fakes
Looking past the veil that’s failing me
Wondering where is home?

What is home?
Is it this vacant zone
Or some far unknown?
Destiny, is it real or just insanity
I refute my fate
As I contemplate what is home
