Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't look, just keep your eyes peeled
Thoughtless, traipsing a minefield
Shotgun, never behind the wheel anymore
Danger, monsters in smoke and mirror
Slowly, can one so lost be found?
[Verse 2]
Well, I know you'll never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Then wake me up
[Verse 3]
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
The view from hell is blue sky, so ominously blue
Daydream until all the blue is gone
[Verse 4]
Well, I know you will never believe
I play as though I'm alright
If life is but a dream
Wake me
[Verse 5]
Underwater is another life
Disregarding every myth we write
Rag doll churning
Eagerly alive
[Verse 6]
Big smile, really a show of teeth
Without a care in a world of fear
Lonely, you don't know how I feel
Praise God, nothing is as it seems
