Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if I would script a dream?
And if I'd let you in?
I'd be your door out of this dark truth
[Verse 2]
Leave a stark reality
And I would give 'em this
I'd make you fall to be there for you
[Verse 3]
Let Morpheus commit his spark
To a stray soul wandering
Errant in the dark
[Verse 4]
Chase your dream
If you don't mind, don't be astounded
By the things they make you do
For amusement's sake
[Verse 5]
Chase your dream
When all comes breaking down around it
What a day for a pastel dream
That's coming to life
[Verse 6]
Beautiful in color
United in their greed
Reasonable people
Dreaming ordinary dreams, yeah
[Verse 7]
Rise above confusion
And leverage the weak
Dive into the shuffle
And then tap into the freak show
[Verse 8]
And Morpheus commits his spark
To a plain soul wandering, errant in the dark
[Verse 9]
Chase your dream
If you don't mind, don't be astounded
By the things they make you do
For amusement's sake
[Verse 10]
Chase your dream
When all comes breaking down around it
What a day for a pastel dream
That's coming to life
[Verse 11]
May it charm the living
May it ease misgiving
[Verse 12]
Intoxicating, days in rapture
Past to swallow, dazed and captured
[Verse 13]
Say ya wanna be now
Sneak into their dream now
Suck up to their love
You're the master of their freakshow
Give into temptation
Seek and bring salvation
Mine now, suburbia
Tomorrow it's the nation
[Verse 14]
Wait for a savior
Rising from the tranquil sea
The book of shallows
Bringing forth a common dream
[Verse 15]
Going with the grain
Numb the pain
We are common sense
Knock them down a peg
Make 'em beg
For deliverance
Rapture of the deep
They believe
Take a deep bow
Give them what they need now
Mingle with the creep show
[Verse 16]
Going with the grain
Numb the pain
We are common sense
Knock 'em down a peg
Make 'em beg for deliverance
Rapture of the deep
They believe
Take a deep bow
Give 'em what they need now
Mingle with the creep show
[Verse 17]
Wait for a savior
Rising from the tranquil sea
The book of shallows
Bringing forth a common dream
[Verse 18]
Let Morpheus commit his spark
To a stray soul wandering in the dark
[Verse 19]
Chase your dream
If you don't mind, don't be astounded
By the things they make you do
For amusement's sake
[Verse 20]
Chase your dream
When all comes breaking down around it
What a day for a pastel dream
That's goin' to plan
[Verse 21]
Chase your dream
If you don't mind, don't be astounded
By the things they make you do
For amusement's sake
[Verse 22]
Chase your dream
When all comes breaking down around it
What a day for a pastel dream
That's goin' to plan
[Verse 23]
What a day for a pastel dream
That's goin' to plan
