Worlds In-Between
RUFUS REX Lyrics

Try to play God
Attempting to have total control in life

It's part of the game
This kind of behavior is expected or common

Some choices are not yours to make
Certain decisions are out of your control

The skeletons in my closet
My hidden faults and mistakes

And the ghosts of my past
Memories of my previous experiences

Are aligning against me
My problems seem to be uniting and growing

And approaching fast
Impending and about to happen quickly

Drowning in black seas
Overwhelmed by negative feelings

Of infinity
Unlimited and never-ending

Encircled by monsters
Trapped and surrounded by terrifying problems

Lurking just beneath
Just out of sight, but still present and threatening

The scuttering in the shadows
The sounds of something moving quickly in the darkness

And the chill up my spine
The shiver feeling I experience due to fear

Are a disturbing warning
A sign of something unsettling to come

Of my borrowed time
The sense that I am running out of time

Secrets and ciphers
Hidden information and indecipherable codes

have me by the throat
Controlling me and limiting my actions

I do not think that I can
I doubt my ability to

Remain afloat
Continue to function or persevere

I have seen things
I have experienced things that are beyond imagination

That you have only dreamed
Things that are beyond your imagination

But maybe they are nightmares
There is a possibility that these experiences were not good

Of worlds in-between
Of a place that is neither here nor there

Here there be monsters
This place is dangerous

And beasts unknown
Creatures that are unfamiliar and frightening

And they're never, ever, ever
They will never leave me alone

Gonna leave me alone
Will always be present and threatening

I don't think that I can stop it
I believe that I cannot prevent it from happening

If I could I don't know how
Even if I had the power, I wouldn't know what to do

It is much too late now
I have no other options and the situation is irreversible

The gibbering of these creatures
The incomprehensible noises made by these monsters

With their shrieks and their cries
Their loud and alarming sounds

In their death and their blood
In the violent and bloody way they will meet their end

I will be baptized
I will be immersed into a new and possibly painful experience

That is not dead
Something that was thought to be gone for good

Which can eternal lie
Has the potential to survive forever

And with strange aeons
As time passes in unknown and inexplicable ways

Death may die
The concept of death may become irrelevant

The clamoring in the darkness
The loud and chaotic noise heard in the shadows

And the stench in the air
The unpleasant smell that fills the atmosphere

Now what unholy outcome
A dreadful and immoral consequence

Have I engineered
Have I initiated and caused to happen

Victorian fictions
Ideas from the Victorian era, which were often fantastical

Are thrown to the wind
Have been disregarded and abandoned

Now I must take up arms
I must prepare to fight back

And fight for my sins
I must face the consequences of my past actions

I wish these were nightmares
I hope that these experiences were just bad dreams

But they are far too real
Unfortunately, these things actually happened

And I wish these were figments
I hope that these experiences were just my imagination

Of a sickness not yet revealed
Of an illness that has not been diagnosed or treated

Worlds in-between
A place that is neither here nor there

I don't think that I can stop it
I believe that I cannot prevent it from happening

If I could I don't know how
Even if I had the power, I wouldn't know what to do

It is much too late now
I have no other options and the situation is irreversible

Here there be monsters
This place is dangerous

And beasts unknown
Creatures that are unfamiliar and frightening

And they're never, ever, ever
They will never leave me alone

Gonna leave me alone
Will always be present and threatening
