Name: This World I've Made
Duration: P00H04M23S
Description: This song was written for a patient I met when I worked the night shift at a psych hospital, she described the onset of schizophrenia as losing the ability to discern whether or not she had ever actually woken up. Everything felt like a potential dream within a dream, with an uncertain boundary separating nocturnal and diurnal hallucinations.

about

This song was written for a patient I met when I worked the night shift at a psych hospital, she described the onset of schizophrenia as losing the ability to discern whether or not she had ever actually woken up. Everything felt like a potential dream within a dream, with an uncertain boundary separating nocturnal and diurnal hallucinations.

lyrics

The line dividing sleep from wake can bend and erase,
wide-eyed, I hear my grinding teeth,
I blink entire dreams,
each night the brain races the blood,
I make shadows for me to outrun,
but now all the wires have crossed,
when I wake I can't turn them off,
each scowling killer that haunts my nights,
just stays and watches me all day.

Each day the brain tangles up my mind,
it's too knotted to ever unwind,
and have you sprung from my head,
how am I to know?

I'll run away from this world I've made
of monsters, memory, and shame.

I'll run away from this world I've made,
with voices screaming my name.
