Last night I dreamt one thousand lies
I could see the dawn
Through a different set of eyes.
There in my slumber passing time,
Long live the world
Resting on her side.
I walked the orchard with you
Your hand in mine
In the evergreens drinking wine.
I saw the snow fall in black and white
From the auburn skies
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived.
Walked through the earth and down I came
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
In the vacuum of my own brigade,
Resurrected to make you mine again.
Orpheus looked back once.
She sailed the underworld.
No second chances will be earned.
I have returned
As a phantom now to walk the bow and stern
Last night I lived more than one thouasnd lives
Not one of them survived
If we could do better I know that we would
Maybe admit it now, we're not that good.
We keep the needle between zero and one
You play your fiddle baby, I'll play dumb.
Into the pastures of our minds
Goes my nearly beloved and I.
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart split open wide
Time may be on my side,
But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye,
Now I'm the boy, spinning on the wheel there
Stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived.
