Peripheral 03:14
Awake again Aware again Screaming inside, paralyzed No sound comes out, nothing moves Peripheral vision Filled with movement I cannot turn my eyes I'm trapped in here I see figures, hear voices... A familiar scent Then I see her in the corner of my eye Just like I've seen her before a thousand times The room I see Changes when I blink Figures appear and disappear A touch of a bony hand
2.
The moment before the end Is all I can remember Am I alive again? Would I know the difference? This seems like a dream, am I really here? I can't feel a thing and I cannot move I hear footsteps coming closer I'm trapped, again... Inside my own body Beside me an apparition of her Stares at me with judging sadness in her eyes She's is not real (just a dream) Apparition (ghost) But I am the one who's dead A puppet (of torture) Fabrication (you don't know) Stop talking If only I could move I would reach and touch her Then I'd know She does not move Does not seem to breathe But somehow I hear her voice Darkness turns white (blinding) I can't see (a thing) Clinical odor in the air Overwhelming (noise) Deafening (disturbing) The air feels freezing As my eyes start to adjust I no longer recognize the room She is not there, the room is empty I am hooked up into machines
3.
Reclamation 04:16
Whispers... From everywhere... Not a soul in the room A whiff of air on my skin Like something passed... through me We know you hear us We know you've seen us before We've come to claim That which belongs to us A cold touch Caressing my skin Gripping my wrists ever harder Beginning to crush my bones We know you feel us We know you've felt us before We've come to claim That which belongs to us

I can't believe that I'm still here After all I went through, I deserve to rest
5.
Like burning knives Thousands of spikes All through my body All is lost Nothing remains But the torture Mindlessly screaming Helplessly twitching Piece of flesh Heart is spiking Body is spasming Mind is gone Cortisol shooting through the roof Flooding the body Fighting nothing Drowning in adrenaline Lungs are frozen Cannot inhale Suffocating Synapses firing Spine is arching Involuntarily I cannot wait to die again, escape this pain A quivering pile of unconscious meat sweating profusely Only the voice inside is screaming, nothing comes out No connection to the surface, pathway severed A drooling bag of flesh, humanity long lost Visions of complete hysteria taking over Morbid hallucinations too violent to describe Panic and fear, disgust, abhorrence and confusion Passing out from the massive overload of senses Take me away
6.
Yet Again 08:29
Fragments of images floating by Characters I feel I should know Yet I cannot recognize a single one Are these my memories? A sensation of something sharp penetrating my skin Thrusting deep into my flesh A warmness spreading down my body A lightness, willingness to let... ...go Formless figures gathering, surrounding me Their touch feels cold on my skin Paralyzed, subconsciously conjured In this bane, I bathe in sin For me For her Take me away The embrace of death, like a warm blanket over me I lay down to sleep hoping to never wake again
7.
Slumber 01:40
8.
Her bony hands Wrap around my neck She starts to squeeze I hear her strain She's strangling me My daughter, I've missed you You've been gone so long I know why you are here You've come to take me home My last thought Last quantum of hope Is that somewhere There is a another universe Where we are still one I close my eyes And let go She takes my hand And whispers ...As we float off into space...

Space 03:17
