The Secret of Cass Corridor, Pg 26-28
END OF CHAPTER THREE: “Frightened”
I’m a fish with slippery skin
I’ve been rubbed raw within
Tonight we can only seek
refuge in whispers
Oh, the water is fickle
It greets you like an old friend
Then treats you like a stranger
We’ve tasted sour
Now can we stand a little sweet?
Are we frightened of our nature
Or just happy being bitter?
You’re a swan with a pretentious pout
You’ve been rubbed raw without
Tonight we can only seek
refuge in whispers
We’ve tasted sour
Now can we stand a little sweet?
Are we frightened of our nature
Or just happy being bitter?
I heard you laugh last night
I’m a child who loves war
You’re a beggar for a fight
We’re rich but we want more
We’ll embrace that voice no matter how thick
Embrace that kid who just won’t quit
Embrace the trip no matter how sick
it makes us
We’ve tasted sour
Now can we stand a little sweet?
Are we frightened of our nature
Or just happy being bitter?
We’ll walk by the river
Till the stars accept our nature
The moon is full of demons
Yet it stares in judgement tonight

Most people do wish to remain “asleep” it is much safer that way. Lovecraft understood it and so do you.
Most do and I think that’s sad. Even if dangerous, I think it would be better to know and accept than to stay in ignorance, no matter how blissful that ignorance may be.
To know a thing that I could not tell anyone for they would consider me mad… Knowing that is nothing but a load on your soul (or your consciousness if you prefer) – useless at best. Here I dunno.
To know a thing that puts you in danger, especially something you cannot do anything about but watch the count down that leads to your death run out – that’s seriously worse than useless. Here I know.
Oh man I got the chills! 😀 Screw sleep I am going for an all nighter!
As to the asleep vs awaken thing, well… I am not a believer. That’s a fact, but I know what I have seen and experienced. Maybe it was supernatural, maybe there is some natural explanation I dunno. I like to claim that I am just a guy who has seen and experienced enough to be unable to say that I think that I know everything.
