about

A tale of what happens when we aren't conscious of what we're putting out there and what's going on in our lives, this track serves as a wakeup call for listeners to be present in their own minds as much as possible

lyrics

the anesthetic kicks in and you start to drift off....quiet, all that is quietly surrounding you hums in the background becomes silent.
what once could be distracting is maybe at best a consciousness test to only remember the details that matter and celebrate that our brains do in fact rely on this perfectly balanced insanity to somehow remain intact

frightening moments arise, the worst kind of surprise...
hello! ma'am can you feel the pressure that's prying inside catacombs of your mind?
goodnight! with that back under you go
it has caused you distress, this consciousness test.
you wake in a panic, your motives satanic,
but frightened and lost, confused at such cost,
your touch with reality fades so significantly you cannot manage to find your way back

dreams never brought to life, fruition,
goals, once were maybe most important
love, could be current, unrequited
doubts, magnified and brought to life,
and fears are suddenly much too real life, do not take for granted
nightmares don't just happen while you're sleeping

tension cuts like a knife, you snap back to real life
Help Me! someone explain what happened
I thought I was fine with the drilling inside
sorry, we didn't mean to impose
it's disturbing at best, this consciousness test
feeling discomfort is part of the norm,
hurt, insanity seems to take over your dreams,
but try to remember when thoughts don't respect:
answer back with a NO, you don't own me, you cowardly
fear mongering bully who's not based in fact

with that you have passed this consciousness test
to only remember the details that matter
and celebrate that our brains do in fact rely on this perfectly balanced insanity to somehow remain intact
