Distorted Light Beam
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.
It isn’t enough
To start a riot
Distort the light beam
Until I like me
It isn’t enough
If this is real life
I’ll stick to dreaming
Come see what I see
Feeling like
If this is life
I'm choosing fiction
Oh, whoah, oh, whoah
Call it faith, call it fate
The fantasy's the same
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don’t wake me up, don’t wakе me up
Levelling up
Dеlete my history
Choose how you see me
And the future’s easy, yeah
Levelling up
In here, I'm winning
Defeat the big boss
Game over, your loss
Feeling like
This ain’t life
I'm choosing fiction
Oh, whoah, oh, whoah
Call it faith, call it fate
The fantasy is the same
So
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
(Will I ever)
(Will I ever)
(Will I ever, wake up?)
Hope I never wake up
I never get tired
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
Don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
Don’t wake me up, don’t wake me up
(Oh)
(And when I'm dreaming)
(I can do anything)
(So here I go)
