Andrenochrome Dreams Lyrics - Ascension - Otep

I had this dream where I woke up to a grand commotion 

And um, I jumped from the blankets 

And whipped the door from its lock 

And rushed blindly into the blackness of the hallway 

But there, on all sides lying next to each other 

Were rows and rows of executioners 

Some were shirtless, robe less and throbbing with anticipation 

Sweat delicately sneaking through their body hair 

All were hooded 

Some like seventeenth century guillotine henchmen 

Others had crudely made hoods like scarecrows 

Or sudden ripped ski masks with slobber from their clenching jaws 

And some had burlap masks sown together 

So they looked like they were made of human skin 

Each one held a weapon, large mallets, crudely fashioned axes 

And large clubs, pipes, but I wasn't compelled to retreat, no 

I was forced to move between them 

Past their swinging weapons 

The clubs, the bats, the slicing tools, the shovels 

The large and small axes, big boards with nails 

Staples and razorblades embedded in them 

Taking the beating, falling down, getting up 

Again and again and again and again 

Driven to make it out at any cost 

And next I stumbled into a, this strange marshy world 

Where I was, I was oddly drowning 

In squirrels and other large starving rodents 

Then from above out on the treetops 

Several dolls fell from the branches 

Where they were hanging 

With nooses made of human hair 

They all, uh, they started biting and sucking 

And trying to feed from me, trying to enter my belly 

And some pushed large needles into my veins and 

And as I looked back some had nails 

Through their hands, torsos and throats 

I was froze, dead eyes carbonized 

As I kicked them away I could see all around me 

Of piles and piles of dead sea life, large fish 

Smelly crustaceans covered all in dead shrouds 

And their soulless empty bodies whispered 

A secret language, I couldn't decipher 

But somehow understood and their cries were 

Feed me, feed me 

They wanted me to devour 

Those around them, chew them up into a paste 

And smear them inside their mouths 

And as I, I turned around 

I could see the shape of a woman, perfect, perfectly erotic 

Squatting over a pile of these dead things 

And as I ran to her and said, "What the fuck are you doing?" 

And she had no face and then she turned to glass 

And suddenly cracked 

And then exploded into a 1000 pieces at my feet 

And just as I took a quick breath 

This world was shoved and decimated 

But an intruding tidal wave of microorganisms 

Neutrinos, exploding atoms and binding molecules 

I was suddenly in the moon again 

Frightened, aching and alone 

And that's what I remember most 

The ache, I can't escape
