Blinding


Seems like I've been held, in some dreaming state
a tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
a kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
until I realize it was you who held me under

felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollow of my eyelids
shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

And I could see the thunder and hear the lightening crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed like the spell was broken

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

No more dreaming of the dead as if death was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards
Silence slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards

No more dreaming of the dead as if death was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards
Silence slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up the circuit boards
Silence slipping through the hidden door.
