somewhere life retired
to a creeping company of bitter thieves
a lucid dream empire
turns a blinding hand that follows into sleep

i live the lie awake
when everything is fake
it's only inside dreams i keep it real
when all the world is mine
and everything divine
it's only inside dreams life has appeal

daylight can devour
all that's keeping down distorted memories
a seed inside a flower
like a blinding hold on conscious sympathy

i live the lie awake
when everything is fake
it's only inside dreams i keep it real
when all the world is mine
and everything divine
it's only inside dreams life has appeal

radial bed afire
world collapsing on a broken melody
daylight in a flower
like a blinding hold on old chemistry

winter springs a shower
