Anesthesian Sleep (2007)

Mephisto of the Seas's picture

For the ghosts of my memory

Echoing on cerulean palls

I slip below to the solitary

Anesthesia, flow into me

 

Well the winds do blow on the sea

Passing the ashes ever after

Under the deep green canopy

Anesthesia, let me see

 

Numb me in this icy retreat

Hold me under, me and Shelley

When I’m blue then come down for me

 

In the dark of the shadows beneath

Doppelgangers scour the sea

With a calm akin to disease

Anesthesia, rush into me

 

Buried pantheon of memories

Rest beneath the solemn waves

Emptied from me save when I sleep

Anesthesia, Lethe unto me

 

Numb me in this icy retreat

Hold me under, me and Shelley

When I’m blue then come down for me
