Only Dreaming Now

If I could soar above the swaying grass and perch upon these walls
The echo in this hollow room would drift into the halls
And the lowly man encaging me will reap what he has sewn
But I'm only dreaming now

If I could float out of this vessel and be tied to something more
I would set aside my grievances and all I'm longing for
But the coward's way is an angel with a double-sided sword
And I'm only dreaming now

Take my lungs
Take my heart
Take my body and preserve all of its innocence
Take my lungs
Take my heart
Take my body and preserve all of its innocence
If I have any left over to take

If I could see beyond my brain and grasp the wonders of the sky
I would have no use for these restricting, dark, and sunken eyes
But this body is a prison cell and I'm in here for life
And I'm only dreaming now

And in the darkness lays an animal designed to make you cry
And he feeds on insecurities and thrives on broken minds
I can try to strike this creature down and hope he doesn't find
That I'm only dreaming now

Take my lungs
Take my heart
Take my body and preserve all of its innocence
Take my lungs
Take my heart
Take my body and preserve all of its innocence
If I have any left over to take

If I could realize the brilliance and the beauty in this world
Maybe I could just relax a little, let it all unfurl
I could write a new persona and then take it for a whirl
But I'm only dreaming now
