about

All this talk of dreaming is fine and sweet, but when time comes for waking, whose face do you wish to see?

lyrics

Can't you see you've used my own key on me
now I'm slowly dying right to left
when you're sleeping deeply enough
do you ever find me in our rest
'cause reading your past tense feelings
is making me a bit too melancholy
if you want to let it be, then, please, just
go your own way without me

la da da da...

if I were a card you could carry me
face-down and forgotten in your bag
but, still, as it stands, I'm only the most sadly
sentimental play-thing you have
I can't fathom why you'd set me quite so high
only to cut me down
and I can't imagine any scenery worth looking at
without you lingering around

la da da da ...

All this talk of dreaming is fine and sweet...
All this talk of dreaming is fine and sweet...
but when time comes for waking
whose face do you wish to see,
a wolf running rampant
or a gatekeeper on his knees?

la da da da...
