These New Dreams

I sat still where no one could see me Eden has no holes, yeah, it was easy to keep yourself preoccupied I said I'd meet you over the border We could sit there, safely, in order, and keep ourselves preoccupied And oh, I knew There was a place that I had always wanted to go And with your hand in mine, I thought I was there already But these new dreams They keep me up I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt I'm trying to absolve myself And I've been holding Onto burdens That weigh a ton and burn my flesh I'm trying to absolve myself It's true that Every beautiful fruit is forbidden You only showed your colours when bitten So, how was I supposed to know? Now I spend my time in the wreckage Every day I sit and fantasise about a life In the place that I had always wanted to go Empty-handed; I thought I was there already But these new dreams They keep me up I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt I'm trying to absolve myself And I've been holding Onto burdens That weigh a ton and burn my flesh I'm trying to absolve myself But just like the moons of Mars Maybe we were doomed to fall apart (to fall apart) Sometimes you have to kill your darlings Even if they come back to haunt your heart (haunt your heart) But just like the moons of Mars Maybe we were doomed to fall apart (to fall apart) These new dreams They keep me up I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt I'm trying to absolve myself And I've been holding Onto burdens That weigh a ton and burn my flesh I'm trying to absolve myself Maybe we were doomed to fall apart I'm learning to absolve myself
