Asleep

[Verse 1]

I'm not certain I'm not a ghost

Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told?

I know shadows follow the rules

But what if tonight

By the mercy of light

I could choose?

[Chorus 1]

Watercolor lucid dreams

I'll paint a future

That I can redeem

For just one precious third of my life

I'm not hypnotized

By the glow of a screen

Or the darkness I've seen

[Post-Chorus 1]

With these tired eyes

I've seen enough for tonight

[Verse 2]

As my eyes close, my guards come down

An armistice was signed

Predator and prey on equal ground

I lose my balance at the water's edge

A Freudian slip

But I can't remember what was said

[Chorus 2]

Watercolor vivid dreams

Under lock and key

Vague silhouettes

Are all I've got left

Till I fall back asleep

An afterimage of the divine

Or just my restless mind

A broken cassette

Can't help but forget

And fade over time

[Post-Chorus 2]

I'll press rewind

Twenty-seven thousand times

Give or take

[Bridge]

I'll paint a future

That I can redeem

I'll paint a future

[Chorus 3]

Watercolor vivid dreams

Watercolor vivid dreams

Watercolor vivid dreams

I'll paint a future

Watercolor vivid dreams

I'll paint a future

I'll paint a future
