Dreamsong

Sometimes I think that dying will be like waking from a dream

But I lose track of what's real life

when there's no one around that needs me

On the floor at five AM I can't remember where I am

With all the feelings I was dreaming still as real as this new setting

Like the dream is just a play still going on in the next room

You come awake to realize that the door is locked behind you

And all you've done is leave your place because the dawn was beckoning

Now the play continues on whether or not you get back in

Yeah you're standing in the great hall of reality again

It makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

It makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

It makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

The problem with your dreams is that they're often about love

In a futuristic wasteland where she saves you from yourself

In this last one I'm depressed in some post-apocalypse

And I cannot leave the bed unless the order leaves her lips

And the walls are full of holes through which I watch her come and go

And her love is manifested in the way she keeps her clothes on

She gets underneath the covers and says "Everything is golden"

Then touches me just to reassure me that I still have my moments

While the sunlight through the skylight makes the room look saturated

I wonder

Does she really want to touch me or just want to make me happy

Does she really want to touch me or just want to make me happy

Does she really want to touch me or just want to make me happy

And the walls are full of holes through which I watch her come and go

And her love is manifested in the way she keeps her clothes on

And she holds me to the way that she believes that I can be

Oh because she believes in happiness and she believes in me

She believes that love is not a secret that we keep

But a ship we are all watching slowly sink into the sea

And even though it only ever happens in our heads

I'd say most things that we love they happen mostly in our heads

And though she believes in happiness and she believes in me

I believe in happiness but I don't believe my dreams

I believe in happiness but I don't believe my dreams

And this was all a dream my darling

This was all a dream

I said

This was all a dream my darling

This was all a dream

I believe in happiness but I don't believe my dreams

I believe in happiness but I don't believe my dreams

I believe that love is not a secret that we keep

But a ship we are all watching slowly sink into the sea

And the play continues on whether you get back in or not

As real as any room you've just departed for another

And that makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

I said it makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

I said it makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

I said it makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

I said it makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream

I said it makes me think that dying will be like waking from a dream
