Sleeping Inside Your Dreams Lyrics

Sleeping Inside Your Dreams

I walked a mile inside your retread shoes

Couldn't find a single trace of you

I spent hours inside your zircon eyes

They looked as empty as the clear, blue skies

I thought of writing down your every word

Can't remember anything I heard

I thought of inking down your fingerprints

But they're elusive as a revenant scent

Don't worry when the time might stop

You'll hear the bell before the cosmic chop

Don't worry when the shock's too much

I have no more pearls to clutch

Don't worry if the sky turns green

I've been sleeping inside your dreams

There's a song that's held for thousands of years

Full of ghosts who threaten to appear

Just when you think you've got the world figured out

You'll be confronted with the twists and shouts

I never really thought this day would come

When I would watch for you to turn and run

You took a step to leave this mortal coil

Then understood you'd only leave turmoil

(behind you)

Once upon a time we believed a fairytale

And once we passed this life we'd carry on

But slowly through the years we saw the story fail

We're only passed through memory and song

I took a stand inside your retread heart

Knowing everything could fall apart

I tried to fortify the bleeding walls

When they collapsed I had to learn to crawl

You came into this world all dumb and wild

I always knew you were a unique child

I hope when anybody puts you down

You swim away and let them think you've drowned
