Waking up all drenched in sweat

As the sheets on my bed entangle my legs

Try to calm my heart down

While it frantically pounds

Gotta check if I'm safe and sound

It's like there's someone else that's dwelling deep inside of me

The only way to wake 'em up is if I go to sleep

They use the dreams to reveal parts of me I've never seen

And always leave me with a daunting sense of longing

It forces me to face the things I always leave alone

I burn, I pine, I perish for things I may never own

I'm so exhausted from having dreams

Better than reality

I find the more that I'm trapped asleep

The more I end up having

Stockholm Syndrome

For the dreams that show

I'm in love with someone I don't know

How am I to cope

When I don't have hope

I'll ever fall in love for real

So I'll fall asleep to be with him, but

All the things I've wanted

All I could imagine doesn't even happen within my sweetest dreams

Please won't someone throw me a bone (oh)

I can't deny that I'm high on dreams

Every wish I've wanted

Every wish I'd grant if I could just have three wishes granted at my hands

Why must things that never can be be

Dangling in front of me

There is something that always seems

To be more than what I need

Lurking deep inside of me

And for my longing

It's responsible

Incomprehensible

It's annoying and insatiable

Always running slow

Never getting close to

What I think I really need

So I'll fall asleep to have my dream, but

All the things I've wanted

All I could imagine doesn't even happen within my sweetest dreams

Please won't someone throw me a bone (oh)

I can't deny that I'm high on dreams

Every wish I've wanted

Every wish I'd grant if I could just have three wishes granted at my hands

Why must things that never can be be

Dangling in front of me

Always in front of me

All the enticing things I see

Like a dagger that's plunged inside me

I feel like a song that doesn't rhyme (it's ongoing)

Like hands in turpentine (it's sickening)

My mind's been poisoned by (I feel awake more when I'm asleep)

Sweet, deceitful dreams (oh)

It's all been a lie, and

I want to know why my

Mind insists on suffering when I don't deserve it

Why can't I see the things in front of me are what I really need

I learned so much from everyone

They touched my life and gave a chance to become what I wanna be

My heart's teeming with all the reveling I'm blessed to have received

My dreams are not my enemies

I feel so grateful to believe in all of my abilities

All the things I've wanted

All I could imagine has already happened in my reality

All those stupid sheep are asleep (oh)

I can't deny that I feel so sublime

Every wish I've wanted (I feel connected to all the things)

Every wish was granted by a fortunate stroke of serendipity (the world has offered to me)

Everything I'm striving to be is (I see the things I strive to achieve)

Happening in front of me
