lyrics

Lying in bed, this is so far from what I want to be
Want to be dead, these dreams of perfection are the ones that have haunted me
Lying in bed, this is so far from what I want to be
You know what I said, and these dreams are so beautiful it's a shame to wake up
Lying here with a pillow under my head
The only thing that is missing is your kissing and I think that's enough said
You know what I want and these dreams are what will give it to me
You know what I want and these dreams are so beautiful it's a shame to wake up

Wake up, wake up!

So I went to the therapist
And what did he tell me, oh what did he tell me?
"These dreams you had of a strange nature
These thoughts, these ideas they intrigue me
Tell me more about these things that you see"
Do you really do you, do you really want to know?
No you don't, no

It's all about this beautiful specimen that I crave, no one knows take it to your grave
Yeah and when I go unconscious, the best I do just to make it through
It's all about this beautiful specimen that I crave, no one knows take it to your grave
Yeah and when I go unconscious the best I do, she can help me through
The best I do just to make it through yeah
Please patients have patience, have patience

At the end of these dreams she comforts me with every one it seems
I know you should prescribe something that my body will recognize to knock me out

And she saves me when the monsters try to take me
And she's there for me when everything goes wrong
And she saves me when everyone tries to blame me for everything that ever went wrong

I know you can help me to put me to sleep for a while
Because that is where I'm happy, you can truly make me smile

And she saves me when the monsters try to take me away
And she's there for me when everything goes wrong
In your eyes it's alright
And she saves me when everyone tries to blame me for everything that ever went wrong
