Lyrics

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
