From back when I was just a young kid
I remember diggin' a piece of metal out from underneath my skin
I remember fiddlin', flipping it over
The fear in my Mother's eyes when I showed her
I remember wakin' up not able to move
I know that this had happened to my Mother too
She told me just to pray to Jesus
Don't talk about it
Let it alone, just leave it
See she knew that nobody‘d believe it
I still recall headaches and my nose bleedin'
And the logic defied all reason
I need to know the truth and what lies beneath it
Was there a pattern or some kind of sequence?
It happened often but this time went on more frequent
If there were answers I would actively seek it
Not sweep it under the rug like our little secret
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
I remember whispers
I remember cold on my back and incision and insert
I remember being conscious
Stuck to my bed, both terrified and astonished
I remember praying that this was a dream
Close my eyes and just try to go to sleep
I remember adrenaline
My heart was beating out of my chest but I couldn't move anything
It was all so real but surreal
Like watching it all unfold on an old reel to reel
Like it was a memory
Like somehow I was watching it happen to another me
Like time was manipulated
Like the future and the past were both syncopated
Like a ripple in the timeline would find its future self
And when it did it was reciprocated
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
I remember no air
I could feel hands on me comin' from nowhere
I remember shadows, blackness, a different kind of dark
The movement of my mattress
I remember shaking
Two eyes looked on, both show vacant
A metallic taste I by now was safe to assume I'm crazy
Because they didn't take me
Maybe they're watchin', cataloguing my every move
Maybe they're not, maybe they're watchin' you
You wouldn't understand unless you lived it
Honestly I look forward to the next visit
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
There was no fire in the sky
Just a parylised wide eyed child
We were confused and we lived in fear
‘Cause in the mid 80's something visited Belvedere
