The Gabriel Construct - Defense Highway lyrics

I wander through memories (My only friends) A maze of places I’ve been (I’m lost in here) Tunnels leading to rooms within (The senses disconnected) But I can’t find you, no matter how hard I look Because I can’t find my way back to the present I am trapped so deep inside myself that My eyes cannot see what is before me Time and space have both lost all their meaning One door opens while others are closing I walk through but don’t know where it’s leading Moving through my past to find connections That I’d given up long ago Bury myself deep inside Living only half alive Disoriented, looming threats increasing fright Automatic, the defenses trigger smiles sponsored links Retreat! Alarm! (Turn back now) I can hear them! I can see them! I have to hide! Get me out of here! I cannot hide if I do not know where I am! And if they find me, will I be trapped by what surrounds?! Waiting to find something I can hold on to! But there is nothing around me that is consistent I need what I fear and fear what I need Human connection I remember alluring warnings I opened my chest for you And I was alive You’re just a story now But I’m still here, alone Night falls and night falls again For you, my dear, I’m waiting here Leaves turn and time stalls within For you, my dear, I’m waiting here We cannot bring a life into a world of violence But I can’t let go… Walking and waiting Moving and searching Trying to find a way out Red sky is calling Dark clouds are hovering No false suns blink above Have I found a way out? My surroundings deceive all my senses I can’t find my way back to the present Is this real or all just recollection? Help me find a way out You were standing there in dreams Your eyes hid smiles This room is empty now, but I’m still here Wondering when I will return to the world of the living again Do I even want to leave?
