Visions In Sleep
Atop
Atop this precipice I sit and watch
As the beasts wander the fields
From left to right all in their places
Except for one, he grazes alone
Though his keeper turns a blind eye
He stays within his confines
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
I've retraced lines on the maps
That outline the fictitious fates
That I've created to make a way for myself
Above the walls and out from under
The loving hands that held me close
That held me close, that kept me in
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
I've mapped the constellations for years
But they haven't proven trustworthy just yet
I've stood on the shoulders of giants
But never saw past my own shadow
Past my own shadow, oh no, no
Why have I strayed, why have I strayed
Why have I strayed beyond your reach?
Why have I strayed, why have I strayed
Why have I strayed beyond your reach?
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
Atop this precipice I sit and watch
As the beasts wander the fields
From left to right all in their places
Except for one, he grazes alone
Though his keeper turns a blind eye
He stays within his confines
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
I've retraced lines on the maps
That outline the fictitious fates
That I've created to make a way for myself
Above the walls and out from under
The loving hands that held me close
That held me close, that kept me in
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
I've mapped the constellations for years
But they haven't proven trustworthy just yet
I've stood on the shoulders of giants
But never saw past my own shadow
Past my own shadow, oh no, no
Why have I strayed, why have I strayed
Why have I strayed beyond your reach?
Why have I strayed, why have I strayed
Why have I strayed beyond your reach?
These dreams are temporary
But the memories are worth their weight in gold
When the lines have all faded from the sand
I hope their borders hold me in
