Dan Bull - Amnesia lyrics
Daniel “Dan” Bull
[Dan Bull - Amnesia lyrics]
I woke up to nothing but a candle
And the vague understanding that
My name is Daniel
Uncertain of my circumstance
nothing else is substantial
I gather fragments of a mind that
I might have dismantled
The last dregs of oil burning in the lantern
Dispel the phantoms that hold
My memory to ransom
Can I remember the reason that
I need to answer them
And descend into madness' inner sanctum?
A humble hunter-gatherer hunted by gatherers
Who are governеd by malice in
This glum palace of avarice
Undеr the thumb of Baron Alexander
In it's utter vastness
Some cannot handle this and
Thus succumb to blackness
The kind of dark a pack
Of matches can't dispel
The kind that violates your mind
'til it's a lifeless shell
You've made the drive halfway
Into your private Hell
So finish the trip and enjoy the ride
You might as well
No gunpowder, just a tinderbox
No flint, no pin for picking the locks
No giving up, no going back
No hope, no memory, you don't know jack
You can run, you can hide
You can shun what's inside you
But, I know your mind
I will come and will find
You can crouch in the dark
Can deny I'm inside you are only delay
In the day that I find you
I haven't got a trusty weapon with
Which I can cut and thrust
So I keep descending into
Corridors that are bottomless
I cough and splutter on the
Rotten musk of forgotten husks
Knowing the day of reckoning
Won't stop at dusk
When you ride with the Devil
You can't be too careful
It might be the death of your mind
He's residing inside you
And therefore you're frightened and fearful
Crying and tearful because your
Life is a vessel
Destined to spend every night lying unsettled
So no surprise that you'll
Be finding it stressful
When every thread inside your head unravels
Yet nobody's there to find you dead
I've traveled
Through the perils of a feral desert
Endeavoured
But effort's never sufficient whenever
You're in a position
Where decisions you commit to will
Rip through the firmament
And permanently trick you to
Tip you even further
Into the slimy bowels of your private Hell
Where chiming bells ring in the
News you finally fell
No gunpowder, just a tinderbox
No flint, no pin for picking the locks
No giving up, no going back
No hope, no memory, you don't know jack
You can run, you can hide
You can shun what's inside you
But, I know your mind
I will come and will find
You can crouch in the dark
Can deny I'm inside you are only delay
In the day that I find
You can run, you can hide
You can shun what's inside you
But, I know your mind
I will come and will find
You can crouch in the dark
Can deny I'm inside you are only delay
In the day that I find you
And the vague understanding that
My name is Daniel
Uncertain of my circumstance
