Like a desert, so smooth - So calm, like velvet - Like wire, so taut - So stretched, like steel
The surface is rippling - And straining and cracking - From within

Like a bomb, just ticking - And waiting, like hours - And hours keep folding - And winding
and stretching - And deep down inside - The foundations are tearing apart - And the holes are
all gaping - Swallowing everything - Please take me out of this dream - Tension

Nightmares like circles - Of lies all hidden - Seething and smouldering - Under the covers
No fire, no passion - But uneasy silence - And peace - In terror I'm waiting - For the one
great explosion - Please take me out of this dream - Tension
