White light Wrap your arms around me It's like a piece of the moon has fallen to the ground She's come to engulf me in her majesty Are there ghosts Are there spirits Are there angels Or is it just a trick of the light Or is it just a trick of the light...

Time passes Listen Time passes Come closer now Only you can hear the slow deep salt and silent black, bandaged night Only you can hear and see, behind the eyes of the sleepers, the movements and countries and mazes and colours and dismays and rainbows and tunes and wishes and flight and fall and despairs And big seas Of their dreams...

Lucidity 05:11
If there's a paradise in our minds That stretches out for miles Why do we all have to live In someone else's world Cause there's a place that we all see After we fall asleep We're together, never alone In a foreign land but a home We're all lonely astronauts Of what's buried inside our hearts All solitary explorers Of the realm of the subconscious Why do we have to be released From the tranquil oceans of our dreams Why does the wind just blow it all away And if I could... I'd lie afloat on the ocean waves And watch the stars from the forest glades And gaze at a perfect twilight world With you here to keep me from the cold And in a blissful daze I'd float downstream Cause if a dream is real then reality's a dream And I'd die on a bed of heather So I can stay here Forever... But my body it tethers me Back to reality So I guess that I'll just watch you fade away As luminescence turns back into grey And in come the rays of another day...

about

A boy wakes amidst the bioluminescent glow of a forest dreamworld, where he is led through lurid environments by a mysterious figure named Xeros.

Xeros' features never seem to come into focus, but somehow they seem all too familiar to the boy, a deep and magnetic connection between the two. The Sundown Realm is more of a home than he has ever felt.

All becomes clear in the end...
