I looked up to the burning sky
I never bothered to ask when I get to breathe
And so I dream of an ocean on the the other side
But I waste all the reverie
I can’t seem to find the stars tonight
And silently I tell myself I tried
Could you ask me to stay just once
Is there something I have to say
To make you believe in this waking dream?
Do you hear me calling out from in between?
No, I thought I’d never be
In the depths of the darkness bleeding
Through the cracks in the air of time
Oh, why?
Why’d I go alone?

I dreamed of that ocean night after night
But now all I see is mirrored ice
Fathoms below the glacier
I want to believe it’s real this time
I followed that echo down
A chasm of colours I’ll never climb out
I buried my shadow, don’t wait for me now
I’ll stay entombed till the rivers run out

Said I’d never feel the Sun like you do
Still it burns me up from the inside out
I swore there was something that I’d done wrong
I carried myself through through the nights alone
Calloused to all the fear you tried
To set into me, I’ll stitch up the seams that I left through
At the edge of the cliff let’s sit for a while

Could you ask me to stay just once
Is there something I have to say
To make you believe in this waking dream?
Do you hear me calling out from in between?
No, I thought I’d never be
In the depths of the darkness bleeding
Through the cracks in the air of time
Oh, why?
Why’d I go alone?

I dreamed of that ocean night after night
But now all I see is mirrored ice
Fathoms below the glacier
I want to believe it’s real this time
I followed that echo down
A chasm of colours I’ll never climb out
I buried my shadow, don’t wait for me now
I’ll stay entombed till the rivers run out
