Blinding

Seems that I have been held
In some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world
Never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word
Could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you
Who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet
In the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine
And down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead
As if death itself 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 hear the thunder
And see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking
I never could go back
'Cause all the walls of dreaming
They were torn right open
And finally it seemed that 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 itself 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 is stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board
No more dreaming of the dead
As if death itself 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 is stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
