White Orchid

Wake me up when the shadow's gone
Everything starts from the dawn
When I've lost all the doubt I had
I saw the seeds lying on the sand
A white orchid in my hand
I didn't save what the tide washed out
'Cause I never wanted to come down
When I was flying over the sun
But you couldn't hear me through
Though I was screaming out my lungs
And even if it was all true
That it wasn't what you had in your mind
Sometimes I would like to forget
Wake me up when the time is right
When you're old and I'm paralyzed
And we're done to let the credits roll
I saw the great big pyramid scheme
Burn the orchid in my dream
And I ain't waiting for the tide to change
'Cause I never wanted to come down
When I was flying over the sun
But you couldn't hear me through
Though I was screaming out my lungs
And even if it was all true
That it wasn't what you had in your mind
Sometimes I would like to forget
