Sleeping At Last - Asleep Lyrics

Sleeping At Last Lyrics

"Asleep"

I'm not certain I'm not a ghost
Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told?
I know shadows follow the rules
But what if tonight
By the mercy of light
I could choose?

Watercolor lucid dreams
I'll paint a future
That I can redeem
For just one precious third of my life
I'm not hypnotized
By the glow of a screen
Or the darkness I've seen

With these tired eyes
I've seen enough for tonight

As my eyes close, my guards come down
An armistice was signed
Predator and prey on equal ground
I lose my balance at the water's edge
A Freudian slip
But I can't remember what was said

Watercolor vivid dreams
Under lock and key
Vague silhouettes
Are all I've got left
Till I fall back asleep
An afterimage of the divine
Or just my restless mind
A broken cassette
Can't help but forget
And fade over time

I'll press rewind
Twenty-seven thousand times
Give or take

I'll paint a future
That I can redeem
I'll paint a future

Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams
I'll paint a future
Watercolor vivid dreams
I'll paint a future
I'll paint a future
