lyrics

I won't fall asleep for fear of a creeping nightmare
A recurring dream where I'm no longer a child
And while I'm awake my heart stays wrapped in laughter
Like a winter's day kept out with gloves and coats

I want a life to call my own
No more learning through palindromes
I'd take the stars if they only shone
I'll meet my makeshift family
Beneath the shade of that willow tree
And kick my sorrows as they leave

In dreaming I see the dust pile up on unused toys
While my skeleton grows and my thoughts run cohesive and poised
But wandering calls, and my eyes will steadily darken
The chattering walls will keep me company

But night, she is persistent
And the slowest times find me asleep
My dreams have grown so consistent
That this half-life spreads like lightning on the water
And the freshest days will never keep

I want a life to call my own
No more learning through palindromes
I'd take the stars if they only shone
I'll meet my makeshift family
Beneath the shade of that willow tree
They'll keep me out of that creeping dream
That keeps my child away from me
Wake me up so that I can breathe
