about

Inspired by the film Waking Life, this is about the act of dreaming and fulfilling one's unconscious desires.

lyrics

It was all a blur
In my head last night
It was hard to tell
My wrongs from right
I lay in a trance
In between the sheets
Free to wander
In the universe inside me
CHORUS: [And I wake up
And I wake up
I can't get back to sleep
And I wake up
And I wake up
Holding onto the spoils I reap
And I let go
Of the force that brings me back to life
And I know
The greatest gift is in my mind
Tonight]
Oooooh
Oooooh
I'm locked in a skin
That's a million pounds too much
But I touch the blue sky in my sleep
And for me that's enough
Old faces reappear
I may or may not know who
The mystery is the greatest part
And to mine own self I stay true
(Who am I?)
CHORUS: [And I arrive, walking on foot
My train of thought runs late
And I play roles in the gripping tales
That my unconscious mind creates
And I ignore
The call that pulls me back to life
And I know
I'm never turning back
Time]
Arise, dreamer
Waken from your slumber
The nightmare will be over soon
[CHORUS]
And I wake up
And I wake up
And I wake up
