In the dream I fall into the sleepless sea
|
with a swell of panic and pain
|
my veins are aching for the distant reef
|
in the crush of emotional waves
|
|
Alright, get a hold of yourself
|
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
|
it's alright, the rumble in your ears
|
it's alright to feel a little fear
|
an' don't fight it, it's over your head
|
it's alright, you wake up in your bed
|
|
Silhouettes like shivering ancient feelings
|
they cover my foreign floors and walls
|
submarines are lurking in my foggy ceiling
|
they keep me sleepless at night
|
|
Hey, can you picture the sight
|
of figures on the beach in the searing night
|
and the roaring hurt of my silent fight
|
Can you pull me out of this sleepless night?
|
