lyrics

Against tall tales of dragon scales, our reality pales,
Cast in the shade of a ten-foot tall man, dreaming dreams of better days
That’ll never come to pass. Is he accepting it at last: he is but 5’10” and his dreams are all just altered memories of his past?
What bigger dreams may come when the darkest days are done,
In the rays of midnight sun, casting those shadows once again,
Of castle walls lain flat. When the battlements collapse, the stones pave way for attack, that will crush the dreams of the hardest men.
I tell myself tales taller than the ten foot tall man tells. The tales he tells are ten feet taller than himself.
I’ve never met him but I know the guy quite well. We share a likeness and a method meant to quell.
When senses fail we find our solace in the wells of fabricated stories we’ve constructed for ourselves.
Senses fail and I am entwined in an eternal embrace with the darkness,
Facing the farthest face from my eyes, but can I not recognise
That the dark is nothing but an absence of light.
Is this all I can be? Sustained only by fantasy?
Tossed like a ship upon the sea? As life beats on relentless I’m lamenting endlessly:
“Give me a reason and consider me gone. There’s nothing more that I can do to carry on,
empty as the days are, drained out through these eyes.” When there’s nothing I can do,
I shut them tight and you return the blood flow to my veins, the function to my senses.
You’re dancing with my senses. When I am so defenceless against this,
It’s you. You’re dancing with my senses.

Dr. Nowt Manchester, UK

Born at the dank floor of a ceaselessly deepening pit, Dr. Nowt, in his decreasing sanity, haphazardly hurls notes and words together, bellowing out the result upward through the void in the hope that it might reach the surface, even just to the lip of his abode where by chance, one might happen upon his cries and project outward his message of peace, kindness, hope and a distaste for humanity. ... more
