Undreaming

Verse 1:
Broken dreams in broken mirrors
Made of wasted time
I was playing by the rules
And you were playing pantomime
These two hands have built the temple of our love
You desecrated
While I waited

Verse 2:
In your eyes it must have shown
But I could never see
I was left with just your words
And thought it was reality
All my friends said I was crazy
But I never stopped believing
So deceiving

Chorus:
Undreaming is never an easy thing
When a dream is all you’ve got
So I’ll make sure that my eyes are closed
And I hold on to my dream
No matter what

Bridge:
Wake up, smell the coffee
Wake up, swallow your pride
Take a good look around you
Time is not on your side

Verse 3:
Broken dreams can be repaired
With patience and with time
So I picked up all those empty words
And tried to make them rhyme
Ancient temples can be sanctified once more
Candles burning, pages turning

Chorus:
Undreaming is never an easy thing
When a dream is all you’ve got
So I’ll make sure that my eyes are closed
And I hold on to my dream
No matter what

Bridge:
Wake up, smell the coffee
Wake up, swallow your pride
Take a good look around you
Time is not on your side

Verse 4:
Distant pictures drawn on canvas
Made of broken hearts
Now I know I cannot make them whole
By staring at the parts
So I set you free
And hope you find your way
Seasons turning, bridges burning

Chorus:
Undreaming is never an easy thing
When a dream is all you’ve got
So I’ll make sure that my eyes are closed
And I hold on to my dream
No matter what
