lyrics

And the boy did not know which way to go or if it even mattered at all.
He's beginning to realize it's all a movie in his mind. He's terrified.
Clinging desperately to the illusion to avoid the sun's intrusion. Rejecting what he knew to be true. Waking up is hard to do.

Wouldn't it be easier to stay asleep? It's what we've learned. We shouldn't even yet confer to go too deep. We might get burned. Even if it's easier to stay asleep we must wake up. The time is near to climb the mountain though it's steep. Time to shake it up.

Where are we? Where are we going? The time is now. Running forward so fast our vision's blurring. Can you believe the sadness we allow?

Pleasant dreams, but dreams is all they are. Avoiding reality, allowing wounds to scar.
