Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lost time

Thought I lost my mind

How the hell did I end up here?

Rewind

Help to remind

The last thing I can remember

[Verse 2]

Dreamtime

Floating cloud nine

Heavenly bliss utopia

Sublime

Feeling so divine

Just another pleasant nightmare

[PreChorus]

In my dreams there's a song I once knew

Like an uncanny, strange déjà vu

Memories flashing all through my brain

Over and over and over again

[Chorus]

Midnight messiah

Darkness descends

Eternally wired

The dream never ends

Twilight desires

Midnight messiah

[Verse 3]

Moonshine

Time to come alive

No rest for the wicked

Downtown

Have a look around

Feeding the obsession in my head

[Verse 4]

There's a place that I go

Where no one's afraid

It's a feeling that we all know

But everyone's ashamed to say

[PreChorus]

In my dreams, there's a flame burning bright

Constant motion shines into the night

Forevermore blistering out of control

Over and over and over it goes

[Chorus]

Midnight messiah

Darkness descends

Eternally wired

The dream never ends

Twilight desires

Midnight messiah

[Bridge]

Back in the waking life

A midsummer night's dream

I realize

I can no longer fly alone

Help find my destiny

Take me back into the dream

For all eternity

It's calling me back to my home

[PreChorus]

In my life, I've lost all self control

Like a sword piercing this dying soul

Breaking and shaking and left in the cold

Watch this compulsive obsession unfold

[Chorus]

Midnight messiah

Darkness descends

Eternally wired

The dream will never end

[Outro]

I can't stand the pressure

The daytime collectors

I'll never go back there again

Keep those eyes closed

You're now going home

Forever alive in your head

Twilight eternal

Midnight messiah
