Dead but Dreaming

Through the silence I came bearing
Bloody knuckles and knives in my back
You took my hand and pulled me out
You tore your world into mine

I can see right through the lines so
Just take a step back
Take a step back and breathe
You tore your life into mine
And now I can't wake up

I can see right through the lies
You blurred the lines, so take a step back
Now let's pretend, just for tonight
I'm not the only one, I'm not the only one

We'll keep dreaming for a better day
So don't wake me up
Cause I'm loving the way that I feel
No don't wake me up
Because the lie is all that's real

But I won't go down
No, not that easily
No, I won't go down without you with me

So wake me up, but keep my eyes closed
I want to feel you but I don't want to know
What the world knows, what the world sees
That baby I was the one
Who made the skies fall
And stopped your heartbeat
No baby, I don't want to know
So keep my eyes closed
Keep my eyes closed

Calling for my hand from another world
Made of different light, a fictitious guide
Way beyond deep with in my mind
You tore your world into mine

Awake in a haze
Surrounded by never ending days
I feel like I'm lost
Feel like I'm cheated, defeated
And beaten from inside out up to my feet
I can't believe I've pretended for this long
That I could live on with an empty soul
Wasting my time, a useless existence
But with some persistence
I'll make my way home

You have all fallen victim
To a hopeless illusion
Wake the fuck up

Lost in a scene of sleep
Why can't you hear me?
Screaming your name, screaming your name
You Bitch

(Wake the fuck up)

So wake me up, but keep my eyes closed
I want to feel you but I don't want to know
What the world knows, what the world sees
That baby I was the one
Who made the skies fall
And stopped your heartbeat
No baby, I don't want to know
So keep my eyes closed
Keep my eyes closed
