Only Dreaming

I was busted, covered in rust

Thrown into the back of a truck going nowhere

I missed mass, I was running too fast

Fell to my knees but I didn't draw blood

That's a good thing

Then passing time with the strangest of minds

Beyond the pale where the sun don't shine

Took a drink of water, something bitter

Then ran back to the twilight zone

And Christ, I was only dreaming

It's not life, so it's only dreaming

I drew my hand across the flame

Stomped through the house like a night of vengeance

Caligula was standing by

To compensate for the boredom factor

Sometimes in bliss

That holy mess of mindlessness

Staring at the brain dead features of you and I

In a thought to love

Looking at it all in that light

Something more than love is lost

And Christ, I was only dreaming

It's not life, so it's only dreaming

And who knows why?

And who knows when?

And who knows the reasons why

We still pretend that it's alright

Through the lonely nights

Are we only dreaming?

It was a beautiful bust, it was covered in dust

Lying in the back of a rustic manor

The ghosts lay undisturbed

Oblivious to all that passes

Still spending time with the strangest of minds

Beyond the pale where the sun don't shine

Take a drink of water, something bitter

Then run back to the twilight zone

And Christ, I was only dreaming

It's not life, so it's only dreaming

And Christ, I was only dreaming
