Lyrics
if only dreams were smaller things and we could pick the scariest ones, then lock them all in drawers
if only eyes were less inclined to see the things that caused them to dream those things before
how could it be I'm praying for peace
help me I've been asleep I was dreaming of terrible things, of creatures terrible and cold
someone wake me I just have to escape or they'll take me and make me their slave then I'll be terrible too
if only we could make believe build a fort and stay there until this goes away
if only we were safe beneath layers of blankets and pillows
oh my God look around, only he'll save us now
help me I've been awake I was dreaming that some one had taken these terrible creatures away
someone tell me when did this all get so filthy, so dark and indifferent and do i look the same
I'm awake in the dark, Let this end where it starts and I will strike thee down.
