Awaken now to a world you left for dead Excavating down through the crime scene in your head Finding nothing but an empty grave, cadaver crawled from the hole Feet crush the earth with something else in control Losing more than your chip tonight. The lights are on, but no one’s home in this stumbling puppet of muscle and bone I’ll slide inside your sleeve of skin and make it do my bidding Dance monkey, dance! You’re mine to operate like a broken toy in this open state I’ll leave you with no memory of what you did while you were worn by me. Shattered glass, random bruises on your hands Nauseating hours pass as you try to understand; "What the fuck happened last night?" How did I even make it home? Was I alone? Why does it smell like something was on fire? I promised my reflection with all the best intentions that I would stay myself, but I forgot. I forgot to remember Hyde and seek behind these eyes, where the other now resides. This body, occupied by something vile that writhes inside. Don’t look for me behind these eyes tonight. I made a promise to myself, but I forgot. I forgot to remember. I forgot to remember tomorrow.

about

Nocturnal Omissions takes us to the day after the night before, sliding inside an anxiety-ravaged mind following an alcohol fuelled blackout whilst exploring the concept that when the lights go out, someone or something else can take control.
