Distorted Euphoria
The rules of my dreams
Are not what it seems
Distorted euphoria
In my phantasmagoria
Lost in ambiguous bliss
Of a veiled, yet fiery kiss
From a sultry succubus
Riding a cumulonimbus
Enter recumbent anguish
The demons are cartoonish
My misfortune is their reveal
Places and faces are surreal
What if I've gone insane
Am I a victim of legerdemain
Maybe an alien abduction
Or a theatrical production
Awakened with a explosion
Looked around in slow motion
Found myself safe in my bed
The illusion fading from my head
