[ Featuring Madison ]
That's the thing about a nightmare
So busy hurrying, and worrying
That it never feels like anything big
It always starts out as a dream
That goes wrong, goes wrong
Once
Twice
A third
That goes wrong, goes wrong
It always starts out as a dream
That goes wrong, goes wrong
It's when I need to feel empathy, or sympathy
All I hear is a symphony of selfish things
It's uncertainty that keeps me breathing
Uneasy
Like anything
It always starts out as a dream
That goes wrong, goes wrong
Once
Twice
A third
That goes wrong, goes wrong
It always starts out as a dream
That goes wrong, goes wrong
Once
I had a dream
That I could fly
Anywhere I'd like
And I could see any old thing
Swimming with the birds
Above the Law
Chained on the ground
And I could never see the sun from where I was
Only a frown from the moon I had betrayed
And when the morning came
Drugs
Never enough to cool the blood
(No I will never get it)
From stains of lovers lost to discontent
I drink to it, I drink to it
To see what I become
I have to dance with Death again, again, and again
Feel His cold embrace
His very breath
Upon my lips, upon my skin
Swimming with the birds
Above the Law
Chained on the ground
And I could never see the sun from where I was
Only a frown
(Don't give up
Give up, now)
I can't wait to hear you say
That life is good
'Cause life is good
And I hope that you believe someday
That life is good
'Cause life is good
When does a dream become a nightmare
That keeps me up at night?
It's the things I want the most, like a ghost
Hubris in my bones, my soul
Don't tell me I can't reach these goals
I'll reach the sun if I f*cking want!
(It's what I want...)
'Cause it's what I want the most
True Love is waiting
Here in your story
Will you catch me when I fall?
When I fall
Will you catch me when I fall?
'Cause I'll fall
Will you?
Will you catch me when I fall?
Who will catch me when I fall?
Swimming with the birds
Above the law chained on the ground
And I could never see the sun from where I was
Only a frown
