Under
“Under” is about a fictional character who is asleep to the outside but awake on the inside. He perceives everything, but is not able to react. Good story for a psycho thriller? Or for a rock song?
I’ve been a long time going under
I’ve been asleep too long
Beneath all consciousness I slumber
I’ve been away too long
All I see
All I hear
All I feel
Floating
I’m under my own skin
It begins again
It’s been a long and painful nightmare
These medicated dreams
My fingertips are cold and tingling
It’s time to be released
All I see
All I hear
All I feel
Floating
I’m under my own skin
It begins again
I’m under my own skin
It begins again
BEGINS AGAIN!
World right in front of me
Lights right in front of me
Eyes right in front of me
Died right in front of me
World right in front of me
Lights right in front of me
Eyes right in front of me
Died right in front of me
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
WAKING!
