==Lyrics==
Are you sure this is what you want?
As hard as you try not to see it
Further lyrics are printed on the physical component:
The Floating Shadow of Thought
all The Dead smell of perfume whispers
secrets surges maybe I will just stay awake
Red swine eyelids
You shut up, you saw him too, you see The Curse
The Mirror
If you could see inside
If you were here to see
My dreams are showing through
Maybe this is what it appears to be
