Introduction

lyrics

I carve into the spirit of every single mind
Taking what’s yours and leaving what’s mine
As you adjust to a monochrome view of the world
I replace it with a kaleidoscope of wild colours unfurled

My powers are vast yet I cannot escape
This space where the cornea is police tape
My world is restricted by the world that I define
And sometimes I wish my magic weren’t arcane but divine

I’m the archmage of dreams
I’m the archenemy of light
I decide if your dreams are dark or bright
I’m the archmage of eyes
Shut closed by the night
I decide what mad visions come to sight

As you slip into sleep I slip into laughter
You heard of the Sandman? I’m the one who comes after
I wish no more but to pull the strings
But you know it’s not easy now here’s the thing

I chose this life, it didn’t choose me
This life of complicated multifaceted monotony
I willingly accepted with hungry eyes and hungry mind
But as soon as it was irreversable it was obvious I was blind

I’m the archmage of dreams
I’m the archenemy of light
I decide if your dreams are dark or bright
I’m the archmage of eyes
Shut closed by the night
I decide what mad visions come to sight

I am a tumor in your aqueous humor
Ready to create a world of excitement and horror
I am a tumor in your aqueous humor
Ready to create a dream

I stand atop the lens looking into myself
I see just an abyss of imagined feelings leaking out
My arms form gelatin molds of electric fields
Pulsating through dancing prismatic clouds

I lose myself in my own mad displays
Working all night and not having days
My days are stolen by my sorry excuse for a life
But I will live forever, so it’s all worth it, right?

For I’m the archmage of dreams
I’m the archenemy of light
I decide if your dreams are dark or bright
I’m the archmage of eyes
Shut closed by the night
I decide what mad visions come to sight

I’m the archmage of dreams
I’m the archenemy of light
I decide if your dreams are dark or bright
I’m the archmage of eyes
Shut closed by the night
I decide what mad visions come to sight

I am a tumor in your aqueous humor
Ready to create a world of excitement and horror
I am a tumor in your aqueous humor
Ready to create a dream
