Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It don't take much imagination
To see the picture frame
I don't need my concentration
To know when I'm in pain
[Verse 2]
When I lost myself, I lost you by extension
I don't know who would stand to gain
These silly dreams aren't worth a mention
But they keep collectin' in my brain
[Verse 3]
Went on the hunt for fame and fortune
Picked up the trail just fine
Everywhere I go, the doors fly open
But I want out once I'm inside
[Verse 4]
When I break my heart
I know that yours gets broken
I just wish that kept me in line
But I can't live outside the moment
And it keeps leavin' me behind
It just keeps leavin' me behind
[Verse 5]
When I can't sleep, my mind's a circle
I watch the ceilin' fan
I close my eyes and I feel the wind blow
My bed, it turns into a raft
[Verse 6]
I drift away, it's night at Lake Unknown, I'm floatin'
I see it all for what it is
Most anythin' can be forgiven
With what is left, we'll have to live
With what is left, we'll have to live
