Scales in Antiquity - A Lucid Daydream Lyrics

It can come on so sudden
An instant change
A deserted desert, a summer sun
Transforms into a tidal wave
A rainforest of reservations
Irrationally resorts to devastation
We default to do what we've always done

We say we never meant to hurt anyone
But truth is that's a bold lie
A forgotten battle cry on war-torn ears
We've heard those words for far too many forlorn years

I just want to do right by you
I boarded up the windows just like you asked me to
It was a grey day like everyday
All i wanted was that warm light to shine through

I just want to do right by you
I boarded up the windows just like you asked me to
It was a grey day like everyday
All i wanted was that warm light to shine through... just like it used to

In the distance you hear the piano playing
The children singing
The wind is blowing snow like a snow globe
There's a choir at the front door
Put another log on the fire, what's one more?

What's the harm in a lucid daydream?
Where's the fault found? The blame cast?
Those days passed they couldn't last
That's the nature of a journey
The end can't be the same as the beginning
Like drowning isn't the same as swimming

I just want to do right by you
I plugged up all the holes in the floorboards like you asked me to
It was a grey day like everyday
All i wanted was that warm light to shine through

I just want to do right by you
I plugged up all the holes in the floorboards like you asked me to
It was a grey day like everyday
All i wanted was that warm light to shine through... just like it used to
