lyrics

Dreams reign sleep in caverns deep, In minds tethered and ill
You must learn to fly away, and I know in time you will
For I have seen desperation wrapped in humble guise
The dark that rules a place in me in my dejected skies

Wake up to silence but I know, It's only the echo
Of all the truths from which I flee and all the lies I run to see
For I have seen behind the lies and the light that lives beyond
The tunnel's an illusion, the light was real all along

[Chorus]
And now and then when silence rings and light cannot be found,
When I'm lost at sea you're there for me,
A friend who comes around.

Friend is such a complex word, that means so much to me
Some rejoice in what you love and some just long to set it free
For I have seen the depth of this kept hid behind your eyes,
The love that rules a place in me in my reflected skies.

Dream, you me and I dream you in hearts that take to the wall
Wings which spring from whence voices sing, that soar over it all
For I have seen eternity wrapped in lovers guise
The light that rules a place me in our perfected skies

(Chorus)

Dreams build me to comfort you in waking worlds afloat
I set my soul a spirit to, every road upon which you go
For I have seen eternity wrapped up in your arms
The love that lights the way for me, a look towards that star

(Chorus)
