I know the taste of blood
Chasing rabbits in the snow
Light catches my eyes
Where did all the time go
Shut these heavy lids
Body in despair twists
The mind, the enemy
Lost moments of bliss
I grind my teeth
Stranger in the land of sleep
Unsettled in my head
I die in lucid dreams
Sour taste in my mouth
Decay on my breath
Hauntings in my mind
I see faces of death
The ticking of the clock
A race against the sun
Frantic desperation
For peace that never comes
I grind my teeth
Stranger in the land of sleep
Unsettled in my head
I die in lucid dreams
When I sleep I think of you
The tempests start to rise
Sharp teeth against my tongue
A war inside my mind
Morning starts to creep
An old familiar ache
Threadbare against the world
So fragile I could break
I grind my teeth
Stranger in the land of sleep
Unsettled in my head
I die in lucid dreams

The words are full of strong, uncomfortable images; they all work together. The tune supports the words, and the background music frames it well.
I think I'd call this one "I die in lucid dreams". It's the strongest sentence in the chorus, and captures the overall message of the song well.

The vocal melody is very strong. They definitely have this 90s grunge and shoegaze vibe, so I am soooo happy to hear live drums. "I die in lucid dreams". This is very strong and thought provoking. Cool haunting atmosphere. Thanks for the time travel!

I LOVE the atmosphere of this song, the chord progression is so dreamy and ethereal — perfect match for the lyrics. This is a great song, and I really enjoyed listening to it!

Really creative and well crafted lyric that effectively captures the hauntings in one’s mind so vividly. The unsettling darkness of the lucid dreams and the when I dream I dream of you like is really a haunting concept. Love how the melody flows against the backdrop of some great drums and rocking guitar. Love your your vocals soar. Really effective hook and the repetition drives it home and out of the park. Awesome song!

This is melodically so good. I love the "I die in lucid dreams' line both as a lyric, and conceptually. My dreams have been so lucid and (frankly) mad for the last couple of years that it's almost disturbing. But I don't think I've died in them. I gave birth to live frogs out of my left knee a coupe of nights ago, but not dying. I can't remember exactly what it means if you die in your dreams, but I don't think it's good. This is my favourite so far.

This melody suits these lyrics well. The angst and oppressive feeling comes through well. You asked for suggestions for song titles. After reading these lyrics I was left with the impression of someone going through major upheaval in his/her life and having trouble coping with it, so I might call this song something like Angst or Upheaval or perhaps even Fear or "Trying to Cope". Anyway, good job of bringing out those emotions in this song. Well done. Great song!
