Lucid
Mount Salem Lyrics

I'm stuck in lucid dreams
Trapped within my own mind, unable to escape the vivid and surreal world my subconscious has created

Haunted by distant screams
A constant reminder of the pain and trauma of the past, echoing through the corridors of my mind

And i'm as dark as night
My soul is consumed by an overwhelming darkness, a weight that drags me deeper into the abyss

You'll be fearing for your life
My internal struggles have made me unpredictable and dangerous, a threat to those around me

You're in my head now
You have infiltrated my thoughts and emotions, taking up residence in the very fabric of my being

Here are my thoughts
I am exposing the true nature of my innermost self, laying bare my fears, doubts, and desires

Can't go to bed now
The overwhelming burden of my thoughts and emotions makes it impossible to find rest or respite

You've got me lost
You have led me astray, away from the safe and familiar path I once knew, into a realm of uncertainty and chaos

Thought you'd forget me
I hoped that the memories of me would fade away over time, that I could be free from my past

You demon man
You are the embodiment of evil, a manifestation of all the darkness and pain that haunts me

But you crept back in
Despite my best efforts to forget, you have found a way to worm your way back into my life

And you've got a plan
You have ulterior motives, a purpose for re-entering my life that is unclear but undoubtedly nefarious

Thought this would pass through
I hoped that the struggles and pain of my life would eventually dissipate, that I could find peace and stability

But its been so long
The agonies and sorrows of my life have persisted for what feels like an eternity, with no end in sight

I took a step through
I made a conscious decision to enter into a new realm of existence, one that is unknown and fraught with danger

Another realm
An alternate reality that exists alongside my own, with its own laws, inhabitants, and dangers

This time its different
Despite having crossed over before, this new world is unlike anything I have experienced before, with its own unique challenges and obstacles

Will i wake up
Uncertainty grips me, as I wonder whether I will ever be able to return to the familiar world I once knew

In silence i scream
The pain and anguish of my situation is so great that I am unable to express it in any other way than a silent, internalized cry

But is it enough
Despite my suffering, I wonder whether my struggles will ever truly be enough to free me from the prison of my own mind
