lyrics

Awoke to the stirrings of May
Her breeze kisses me on the face
I cling to the doorway of sleep
To see out the end of my dream
As the sun coaxes Spring into bloom
She sheds light on a mess of a room
Says you really should exit your head
Cause the dream never ends
You just climb towards some elusive peak
As if you'd say this is all that I need
Just get up
And stop breaking each mirror you see
Cause a chip of reflection is cheap
It's not enough
You'll lose your glow
But you won't know
And if you don't grow...
Well that which refuses to move just eventually gets old
So the picture starts melting away
The colors trickle down the page
The brightest burn holes in my eyes
Witches seep in and run wild
They force me to reset the stage
But they've distorted the time and the place
I'm panicking inside a dream
But you're not here to wake me
I've walked off the trail to the peak
Well what did I wager to be free?
I can't know
So I'll float like a seed in the breeze
Hoping to find ground, but there's no guarantee
Hope I'll learn that there's not one tree with all the fruit
I guess sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
