The Dreamer

Wake up
Hey, lucid dreamer, make up your mind
Caught on the other side
You feel the world stop spinning just before you see the light
Knowing you'll wake in your empty room
You dream for the one you swoon
But dark clouds are arriving
The sun will be rising soon
And that's just the problem
The silence before the storm
Can't you feel the earthquake coming on?
You wake to find that she doesn't even know you're alive
You sew your eyes shut
Open up
Cause there's no way that you can wake up until you tell her so
You know it's not the real world
You can't imagine what her touch could be
Back when the hour glass was full
Thought you could float upon a different breeze
But now that wind is starting to blow
Not in your control
And it's almost dawn
Can't you feel the earthquake coming on?
You wake to find that she doesn't even know you're alive
You sew your eyes shut
Open up
Cause there's no way that you can wake up until you tell her so
Until you tell her so
So you curse at the sun to give into your love
Like a switch that can be turned on
Like you sleep with a plug in your back
Sure enough, there's a point it will come undone
Well, you're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
(Not alone)
You're not alone
(Not alone)
Cause she sleeps in fear of another year that you keep averting your eyes
You don't have a clue that she stares at you cause you're busy dreaming a lie
A lie, a lie, a lie
You can't wake up because you live this lie
That she doesn't even know you're alive
You sew your eyes shut
Open up
Cause there's no way that you can wake up until you
You have to, you have to tell her so
