I'm Dreaming And I Can't Wake Up Lyrics

I watch everything on TV and I'm terrified, it scares me
A child molester killed my little boy
Someone phoned me to tell me, to tell me
But the call came in when I was asleep
I heard the answering machine in my sleep
I heard the answering machine in my sleep

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night

Someone choked my little boy
It was a plastic toy that never should have come to market
I saw it advertised on TV
And it scared me
It scared me
It scared me
It scared me
It scared me

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night

I am the man with X-ray eyes
Can you see through me?
Can you see through me?
Can you see through me?
Can you see?
Reality
Reality

I remember the lessons that were taught to me on educational TV
I saw them walk on the moon but I never left my room
They killed my little boy and then they showed it to me
They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality

You call this shit reality?
Reality
Reality

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night

Jesus Was A Terrorist

I watch everything on TV and I'm terrified, it scares me
A child molester killed my little boy
Someone phoned me to tell me, to tell me
But the call came in when I was asleep
I heard the answering machine in my sleep
I heard the answering machine in my sleep

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night

Someone choked my little boy
It was a plastic toy that never should have come to market
I saw it advertised on TV
And it scared me
It scared me
It scared me
It scared me
It scared me

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night

I am the man with X-ray eyes
Can you see through me?
Can you see through me?
Can you see through me?
Can you see?

They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality
They called it reality

You call this shit reality?
Reality
Reality

I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
I toss and turn all night
I'm dreaming and I can't wake up
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night
It's just an endless night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
