"Hypnotist (Song For Daniel H)" lyrics

"Hypnotist (Song For Daniel H)"
(originally by Lullaby for the Working Class)

I dreamt I was an astronaut
Safely orbiting the womb
I came across my wife and baby
Already clinging to this singularity

Dear wife, please forgive me
If I sometimes forget what
Blessings I should be rejoicing

The prophet is a shipwrecked son
Keeps waking up here
The kingdom still is a hoax
Gotta build your own, son

The prophet is a shipwrecked son
Keeps waking up here
The kingdom still is a hoax
Gotta build your own, son

I dreamt I was a firefighter
But the flames were never real
I dreamt I was an engineer
I designed it, dear
The world's perfect treadmill

I dreamt I was a hypnotist
A farmer and an architect
A poet and an acrobat
I dreamt the flames were real

The prophet is a shipwrecked son
Keeps waking up here
The kingdom still is a hoax
Gotta build your own, son

The prophet is a shipwrecked son
Keeps waking up here
The kingdom still is a hoax
Gotta build your own, son

I dreamt I was an astronaut
