lyrics

Falling prey to the illusion of hope
The dilation of time, then the pupils
Trajectory diverted
One hand on the wheel
The other over my mouth
Tracing each saccade across the moonlit freeway
The machinery grinds to a halt
Brakes squeal as gears turn in reverse

The rabbit's iris is as white as its fur
In the scattering light of the floods
Frozen in a state of suspended animation; of perpetual fear
Our eyes lock and
A faint sense of recognition creeps into my weary mind

Exiting through the passenger seat as the rabbit darts beyond the snowbank and towards the forest
My legs develop a will of their own and trudge obediently behind the rabbit tracks
Through the forest and towards the clearing
As if guided by some unfathomable, otherworldly force

Upon reaching the clearing, the tracks vanish
My feet begin to shiver in their boots, and as I grow aware of my surroundings, so does my skin crawl with terror
The dead branches of the birch trees bend and twist in the moonlight like contorted limbs.
Hanging from the limbs are innumerable skinless rabbits, inverted, swaying in the wind from their twine suspensions.
Their bodies have been preserved by the cold, and upon rubbing my eyes to adjust focus, I realize that the rabbits are not dead. (They are dreaming)

As I bend my neck back and
Gaze at the stars
My eyes turn white and
Our fear becomes one
