Lately, I've been having dreams--
Dreams of things that I can't remember.
Little bits and pieces of things,
Floatin' through my mind like burning embers.
Oh, and they shine so bright,
Beautiful and red and dying!
So is it wrong sometimes
When I dream of death, I feel like flying?
Lately I've been seeing things,
And it's hard to tell my sleep from waking.
Are they visions of what I could be,
Or just illusions of my own making?
But when my dreams take flight,
Soaring through a world ethereal,
Everything just seems more right
Irresolute and immaterial.
And I wanna drift away.
And I wanna end this day.
And I wanna hear you say,
"It's alright; you don't have to stay."
Lately you've been missing me--
I'm lost in thoughts that I can't control.
I wanna reach you, but I just can't see
My way out of my favorite hole.
Anyway, it feels so nice
Down here where the world can't touch me.
Yeah, it's just a little sacrifice:
If I'm alone, only I can judge me.
And I wanna drift away.
And I wanna end this day.
And I wanna hear you say,
"It's alright; you don't have to stay."
Lately I've been having dreams--
Dreams of things that I can't remember.
Little bits and pieces of things
Floating through my mind like burning embers.
Look at how they shine so bright,
Beautiful and red and flying!
So, tell me, is it wrong sometimes
When I come back down, I feel like dying?
