Second-hand Dreams
Breathing recycled air
I can hear it filtering its way through all the vents above my head
They've locked the windows worried that we'll go ahead and jump
Perpetually on a cusp of a better life
We're going through the motions prescribed by the tribe
It's easier this way
We tell ourselves today
We stay
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
Breathing recycled air
Wandering through cubicles identically grey
Saving for the future we forget to live today
We fray
Kaleidoscope of ever-moving fragments
All the blessings and the mysteries
And chances and hope
We're drowning out our thoughts
With dashes and the dots
We stay!
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
The sky catches fire
When the sun goes down tonight
And we feel inspired
To spread our arms and try to take flight
We live someone else's dreams
But that's okay -
We're still learning what it means
Still learning what it means
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
Stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
I can hear it filtering its way through all the vents above my head
They've locked the windows worried that we'll go ahead and jump
Perpetually on a cusp of a better life
We're going through the motions prescribed by the tribe
It's easier this way
We tell ourselves today
We stay
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
Breathing recycled air
Wandering through cubicles identically grey
Saving for the future we forget to live today
We fray
Kaleidoscope of ever-moving fragments
All the blessings and the mysteries
And chances and hope
We're drowning out our thoughts
With dashes and the dots
We stay!
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
The sky catches fire
When the sun goes down tonight
And we feel inspired
To spread our arms and try to take flight
We live someone else's dreams
But that's okay -
We're still learning what it means
Still learning what it means
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
Stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
Second-hand dreams
Swallow the world we breathe in
Breaking those seals
Letting the air in
We stayed indoors
And did our chores alone
For way too long
