about

Sequel to the 2018 release, The Oneironaut. Oneironaut pt. 2 continues the narrative of struggling with unrelenting dreams during times of bereavement.

lyrics

If meds don’t work then what’s the solution?
My brain is a mix of chemical collusions
Heart’s become a daily obtrusion
Like I swallowed a shot put
And then surrendered all input

So I fill my lungs with various pollutions
Engulf my ears with hardened musicians
My legs are itching for resolution
But I can’t run away
If I’m still stuck in my old ways

Sleep don’t come the eve
I’m not prepared for what you bring
These dreams are slowly killing me
And I don’t know where to find relief
When they’re bursting forth like Yellowstone
‘Cause I’m downing pills of melatonin
Hopes of merely functioning
But these thoughts are proudly puncturing
My will to move on, yet again
I’m sure I’ll see you soon and I’ll pretend
That I will not Love you endlessly
And I don’t scorn my stupidity

I bet you sleep so comfortably
And you’re not regretting anything
Do you dream of one day marrying
The beast whose ravaged everything?
And I know he’s loved by all your kin
But have they seen his second skin?
Will he leave you worse than I have done?
If it hurts you more than you’ve ever known
Then I’ll offer some sardonic solace
You’ll know there’s no forgetting all this
Until then I’ll continuing screaming
At you each night while I am dreaming
