Alustrium - A Tunnel To Eden lyrics

Always overlooked Exists behind the scenes of my world A hunger deep within My perfect self dwells in my shadow Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Thoughts of my daily stressors dissolve from consciousness Take hold of all that matters, a burning light within Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection Just out of consciousness to hide me from you, hide from all Dig down away from earth I enter a realm of peace I retreat from this existence to embrace a greater form Stripped away from mind and body Endure only as sensation Euphoric, delightful feelings stimulate my useless arms Ripped away from mortal coil to a heaven free from toil This, my end result The justifying of my means Self mutilation, poison is the final cure Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection My shell, my useless corpse of dust Silently, gracelessly crawls over blood and needles A draining pulls from below A haunting, dreading want A terrible need for substance A cry for more The story begins anew The quest for an escape The charred remains of what was once a life exist only to taunt me I retreat from this existence to embrace a greater form Stripped away from mind and body Endure only as sensation Euphoric, delightful feelings stimulate my useless arms Ripped away from mortal coil to a heaven free from toil This, my end result The justifying of my means Self mutilation, poison is the final cure Reality goes black as tides of pain recede Dispel all false illusions Return to my perfection Just out of this, my world exists only pain I've been hurt Free from all weaknesses I say my last farewell to you I slip from my shell I move into euphoria A shapeless world with no bounds Never mind the physical and never mind the consequence Just keep on digging further down, and digging and dig Layers of skin just melt away Fall away at a touch, peel away as scabs Sensitivity decreases as the world who never understood Can never understand, will never understand why I dig
