I the Mighty - The Dreamer lyrics

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 comin' on?

Yeah, you wake to find that she
Doesn't even know you're alive
Yeah, 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 hourglass 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 comin' on?

Yeah, you wake to find that she
Doesn't even know you're alive
Yeah, 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, oh

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

Yeah, you can't wake up because
You live this lie
That she doesn't even know you're alive
Yeah, 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
