Border Crossing Lyrics by B. Dolan

Fallen House, Sunken City

2010

Fade up on the scene
As he wrestles with the dream
In the in-between place
Not awake, not asleep
Such a waste. His sunken face
Frozen in a scream
Hypnotized by the click click click
Of poker chips on the TV
Falling
All-In
And the dealer reveals a card
Reach for the remote but he's so far gone
Just give up and leave it on
Noises bleeding into one
Voices speak to him in tongues, rain beating like a drum
Can't shake the awful feeling;
They're feeding on his blood!
Can't get up, can't get out
Too much doubt to overcome
Too much lost, shut the door, cut em off
No cure but to batten down the hatches
But when the night falls
There's a storm in the mattress
The ship gets blasted by the wind and the downpour
No map, no captain, no order, no course
No path towards morning
Or witness to the end
Another victim of life, a prisoner in this bed
Caught up at the border of the living and the dead!

Caught up at the border of the living and the dead!
Can't get to sleep so the dream never ends!
Caught up at the border of the living and the dead!

That's deep. How deep? It's deeper than Atlantis

The tide drops before the surge
Bonded in his words
Everything is terrible, unsettled
The earth trembles
Splinters into fragments, missing and imbalanced
Secrets of the deep
Make him rage against the sheets
Used to think it would be beautiful to never rest in
(Peace!)
But God is an insomniac who never gets to
(Sleep!)
Another victim of addiction to scripted
(Reality!)
There's no Survivors in the Real World
Just Greed and Jeopardy
Re-occurring dreams of murder scenes and skirting the police
He did the dirty deed, surely destined to be
Hung by the Jury the verdict is reached
The sentence is set
No mercy, no pardon, no appeal, no rest
No escape from the collection of his unforgiven debt
No stay of execution from the judges in his head
Keeps looking at the time but the night never ends
When you're caught up at the border of the living and the dead

Caught up at the border of the living and the dead!
Can't get to sleep so the dream never ends!
Caught up at the border of the living and the dead!

That's deep. How deep? It's deeper than Atlantis
