Sovereign's Crown

Sovereign's crown on a toad's mouth
Little eyeballs telling jokes
Angel dust, sweat and noise
Skin and hair that burn and smell

Through a hole in the wall
I can hear shots far away
It turns black, it turns red
Thumb turns down and then you fall

Try to wake up in sweat
But you can't
Close your eyes and dream on
You can't run
I'm your dream and I'm here
In your head, I'm your fear

Bleeding flesh and baby cries
Empty glimpses in the dark
Never shout, never yell
Because now you're one of them

Down the cliff your car has slipped
Your fingernails disappeared
Now it hurts and you can't stand it
But there's more pain than you feel

Try to wake up in sweat
But you can't
Close your eyes and dream on
You can't run
I'm your dream and I'm here
In your head, I'm your fear

I lurk behind to catch your mind
The shadows swallow every ounce
Of curing sleep
To feed your insanity

Try to wake up in sweat
But you can't
Close your eyes and dream on
You can't run
I'm your dream and I'm here
In your head, I'm your fear
