Sleeping At Last - Asleep lyrics

I'm not certain I'm not a ghost
Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told?
I know shadows follow the rules
But what if tonight by the mercy of light
I could choose?

Watercolor lucid dreams i'll paint a future
That I can redeem
For just one precious third of my life
I'm not hypnotized by the glow of a screen
Or the darkness I've seen

With these tired eyes
I've seen enough for tonight

As my eyes close, my guards come down
An armistice was signed
Predator and prey on equal ground
I lose my balance at the water's edge
A Freudian slip
But I can't remember what was said

Watercolor vivid dreams under lock and key
Vague silhouettes are all I've got left
Till I fall back asleep
An afterimage of the divine
Or just my restless mind a broken cassette
Can't help but forget and fade over time

I'll press rewind
Twenty-seven thousand times give or take


I'll paint a future that I can redeem
I'll paint a future

Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams i'll paint a future
Watercolor vivid dreams i'll paint a future
I'll paint a future
