lyrics

Searching for a Peace
September 24, 1991

nightmare in the promised land
the mind writhes to get away
in the shadows
lie the serpents
thoughts that wait to break you
send you hopeless into panic not your making
all dream you cry -
but still
it seems hours til you wake
a room polluted by sweat
in what is sniggeringly called the real world

sitting up you stop to shudder
what was that -
a moment of insanity
to keep you in touch -
with what?

next night in the darkness
you spend some hours being brave
breathing only through the covers
knowing darkness bides its time
that dream and reality intermingle
becoming one another

do you die when you die within a dream -
it seem that this may be
so you lie awake
for days you wait
fearful of a sleep that might unmake you
recalling a taunting phrase somewhere
said dreams should be the promised land
