Broken sleep, all too human
A malady
It's gazing through when I would
Dream me a dream (soft as a pillow)
Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)
Dream me a dream (deep in the night 'til the morning will follow)
Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)
Shapes of smoke, all too human
They grow like titans
I would like to fall, silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall (fall), fall (fall)
I would like to fall (fall asleep), silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall (fall), I would like to fall
Twisted rope, defies all I know
It holds my reason
Dream me a dream (soft as a pillow)
Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)
Dream me a dream (deep in the night 'til the morning will follow)
Dream me a dream (dream me a dream)
Sea of trees calling humans
To hang like leaves from the willow
I would like to fall, silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall (fall), fall (fall)
I would like to fall (fall asleep), silence every call
(Will you level me with a dream?)
If I could fall (fall), I would like to fall (fall)
Take my word for it, for it
In the dark, in the dark
In the dark
Words can follow
