Joan

Joan's asleep in my bed

How many times could I wake her instead?

Cover my head and drift into sleep

To fall prey to some useless dream

Oh I know it's good inside

How could I wake the one that I've lied to

For so long at our best

It's easier to lie and just pretend

Lead her on, leave me alone

I don't want to play these games anymore

These games at all oh no

Lead me on, lead me astray

I don't want to run away

Like a coward and face myself today

Drifting into a haze I see the man that I became

A fearless lover and passionate friend

An evil that haunts but never bends

Oh and I know it's easy to lie

And take away the life of a child

It breaks my bones and then my smile

Until I'm the man that masks his trials

Tell me, was it all fake?

Could I wake up with a scar on my face?

I see futures so damn real

But darling you ain't the future I dream

Lead her on, leave me alone

I don't want to play these games anymore

These games at all oh no

Lead me on, lead me astray

I don't want to run away

Like a coward and face myself today

Joan's asleep in my bed

How many times can I wake her instead?
