Only Dreaming Now Lyrics

If I could soar above the swaying grass and perch upon these walls

The echo in this hollow room would drift into the halls

And the lowly man encaging me will reap what he has sewn

But I'm only dreaming now

If I could float out of this vessel and be tied to something more

I would set aside my grievances and all I'm longing for

But the coward's way is an angel with a double-sided sword

And I'm only dreaming now

Take my lungs

Take my heart

Take my body and preserve all of its innocence

Take my lungs

Take my heart

Take my body and preserve all of its innocence

If I have any left over to take

If I could see beyond my brain and grasp the wonders of the sky

I would have no use for these restricting, dark, and sunken eyes

But this body is a prison cell and I'm in here for life

And I'm only dreaming now

And in the darkness lays an animal designed to make you cry

And he feeds on insecurities and thrives on broken minds

I can try to strike this creature down and hope he doesn't find

That I'm only dreaming now

Take my lungs

Take my heart

Take my body and preserve all of its innocence

Take my lungs

Take my heart

Take my body and preserve all of its innocence

If I have any left over to take

If I could realize the brilliance and the beauty in this world

Maybe I could just relax a little, let it all unfurl

I could write a new persona and then take it for a whirl

But I'm only dreaming now
