Bilingual
I wake from a dream
Or perhaps from a nightmare
My consciousness blurs at the seams
I swallow a scream
Recompose my composure and posture
Repose from extremes
It's always the same vision every night
A pit of despair and an absence of light
A consolidation of horrible frights
And one would-be corpse sitting just out of sight
And the taste of rotting flesh in my mouth
I phone a friend and trust that he'll be at my window
It's 3 AM but I have certainty that he'll show
He has a way of making things just happen, you know
Bring to heel the impossible
Are your ghosts back again?
They seem to haunt the minds of the residents here now and then
I can't quite comprehend
Their attendance or what the significance their visits portend
Are the dreams they witness the same as mine?
Is this all spontaneous or all by design?
Are they by a force sinister or benign?
Are they of an entity damned or divine?
It depends on what perspective you tout
There's only so much I learned from my parents, you know
This city hushes up its past to let its wealth flow
The rest I learned from what the water wanted to show
I just know there's something wrong
With this open mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth
Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath our feet
There's an anguish that carved out its joyous streets
Horror drowned out by careful deceit
Desperation and fear courses through its veins
In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains
Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain
Crying out until it goes insane
I'm...gonna find it
Please don't, please don't
Look away, look away,
It's better if the status quo is how the status stays
And I'm gonna find it
Please don't, please don't
Look away, look away
The suffering of one is better than this town's decay
The disappearances began with the disaster of a sinkhole taking half the town in 1927
Thousands of people never found after some mining shafts collapsed and the site was declared too risky for rescue missions
Though Sommervane rebuilt and somehow prospered despite all the odds, the missing persons rate still remained concerning
A yearly average of a hundred people, mostly visitors, who vanish into thin air and the townsfolk say nothing
Hey, maybe you should be careful
This mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth
Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath my feet
There's an anguish that's carved out its joyous streets
Horror drowned out by careful deceit
Desperation and fear courses through its veins
In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains
Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain
Crying out until it goes insane
And I'm gonna find it
Please don't
Please don't look away
Look away
It's better if the status quo is how the status stays
And I'm gonna find it
Please don't
Please don't look away
Look away
The suffering of one is better than this town's decay
This is my childhood home
I became who I am here
But I just can't ignore the malaise that underscores my whole life in fear
It's like the foundation of this town is rotten to the bone
This is my childhood home
I became who I am here
I love it enough to risk myself if it means my friends are safe here
To make something warm and secure in a place built on old blood and bone
There's a curse on this town, borne of love and hate
One created by grief, one made by twisting fate
It was forged out of fear and a need to escape
Death and ruin after tragedy so great
Pick a child with a gift to reshape the world
Tie her down, lock her up, somewhere she can't be heard
Have her mind build the town, her heart keep its wealth firm
Keep this secret, to violence absurd
This open mouth of a town and its bloodstained teeth
Feel the yawn of its hunger beneath my feet
There's an anguish that's carved out its joyous streets
Horror drowned out by careful deceit
Desperation and fear courses through its veins
In the depths of its throat, something rattles its chains
Bound and collared for everyone's selfish gain
Crying out until it goes insane
