Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Till I realize that it was you who held me under
[PreChorus]
Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine, and down through my ribs
[Chorus]
No more dreaming of the dead, as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow, for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, with the wrong world
[Verse 2]
And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
And all around the world was waking, I never could go back
'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally, it seemed that the spell was broken
[PreChorus]
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
[Chorus]
No more dreaming of the dead, as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow, for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love with the wrong world
[Bridge]
Snow White's stitching up your circuit boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuit board
[Chorus]
No more dreaming of the dead, as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow, for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl, so in love with the wrong world
[Outro]
Snow White's stitching up your circuit boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuit board
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
