Lyrics
Phantoms
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There're so many dreams undone, lost for evermore
here we are just counting sheep, eyes transfixed on monitors
we are sleepers strangely rapt in shifting sands of irreality
it's plain to see.
But what's behind that blinding light
All the truths and all the lies pushing down upon us
A million choices every day
What are we supposed to do? tell me everything will be alright
and i'll be sleeping sound tonight
All the people walking by seem to need an answer
Something's missing, don't know why
How the hell did we get here?
But when i look around, i understand
And everything comes clear to me
It's plain to see
Rising and falling with the tides, oh!
All the truths and all the lies pushing down upon us
A million choices every day
What are we supposed to do? tell me everything will be alright
And i'll be sleeping sound tonight
