about

"Loosely based on a short film idea I had surrounding a science fiction writer using an old greasy typewriter is driven mad the further he delves into his visions. Since he prefers his fantasies to reality, he has long since forgotten how to communicate with his fellow, real-life man. His sub-conscious eats him alive with nightmarish visions, leading his characters to be viciously cruel towards the actual author, as a kind of self-punishment for missing a crucial point in the reflection of science fiction and its function; or art itself, for that matter."

- S. Douglas

lyrics

Every time I stack jerked ink of language
It’s all wrong
It’s already happened
Every time I seem to wake, I sleep
Before long, slung words become so garbled
It’s already happened
I know your face
I know this town and its streets

They sing
Sha, la, la
Hallelujah
Feel the sunlight
They sing
Sha, la, la
Hallelujah
See the moonlight
(It’s already happened)

We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
Oh, oh
Oh

Every dream is like holographic
Portals
Into other dimensions
Backdrops of the background moods and its speech
Every room is a familiar room
And it’s all wrong
We’ve already happened
Through the window, I can hear the birds convey

They sing
Sha, la, la
Hallelujah
Become sunlight
They sing
Sha, la, la
Hallelujah
Be the moonlight
(It’s already happened)

We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
Oh, oh
We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
We’re the sleeper
Sleeper assassins
Oh, oh - oh
