Glass will encircle my body As I wrap my indulgence around this tree In a state like this, at a time like this It's worth the accident
And this parallel state just above the city streets I can fully develop while debris and light swallow me And the asphalt is clearly impending That's where you'll find me
Only in a dream Can you live a full life in an instant Can you take someone's life then forget them Can you give up your soul and existence Just for the sigh of relief
You're an autumn victim, like falling leaves A terror in the dark of night A blinding fire, a guiding light If we held on like lovers and stayed under the covers We could've stayed warm but instead
I've got silver coins for the eyes of my patients So the reaper doesn't sense Ignored financial obligations We're all television screens, We're watching families Where life is nothing more than just a dream
Can I stitch both my eyes, can I forfeit When I fall from the skies while I forget When I wake in this hospital, kicking and screaming 'What have I become?' Repeat only in dreams
I'm a terror in the dark of night A blinding fire, a guiding light A haunted child of strife and breath Sent to filter life and death
