I just had no head, it had no wings

And when I woke that bird was me

They came and ripped my tongue from me

They came and stripped the flesh from me

They came and ripped my tongue from me

I have no mouth and I must scream

Probing my brain to see what scares me

What horrors there could be

Unconscious, nowhere left to hide

Trapped: Dreaming inside

Programmed for abject misery

The subject's changed radically

Laughing contorted faces leer and scream

No way to stop them coming

There are no more tears to cry

They look into mirrored eyes

Torment in the images I reflect

Fear is just a concept

I just had another dream

Saw a bird fly upon mended wings

It flew so high if flew so free

If I closed my eyes I could hear it sing
