I dreamt up a paradise and I just want to spend my days lost inside…drifting on a whim. Don’t you try to pull me back through the doors of paradise.

I see skies of blue... And that's all for that tune ‘cause I fell asleep to a different paradise. You must come away with me and we will enter a world inside. It’s all in my mind’s eye as real as the last time I see the people all grey and seamless creating colours everyday No reason to try and hide, ‘Cause there is no ‘wrong’ or ‘right’, yeah Come along, I have a dream As lucid as the silver stream You can eat off any tree And who’ll be judging you and me? I see this realm in its glory; Aesthetic beings of pure design. Created from thoughts in mind No words till the end of time Come inside my retreat It’s real as everything you see Go around, touch and feel and breathe in this eternity And from my lair I see creation Little talk’s defying reason And I’m thinking to myself, what a wonderful world.

And then I bring it back from the old dusty racks of my memory In the river I can see A face that’s smiling silly And a ripple dancing round it. I’m in my best reality, The world is just like heaven And the people never bother me. It seems like too good of a deal. And why oh, why should I be as lucky as I am to be living here? When I think a thought, I wonder why They 'ccur to me though I don't really want them. These thoughts aren't really mine Don't need a Sherlock to explain this Open-shut case. It's a fickle little part of me; One time I love myself One time I question my existence. I'd call it a quiddity, Can't really go without it So, I'll sing a bit about it. It all lasts as long as a feeling And then it's gone back to the old dusty racks of my memory. When I think a thought, I wonder why They 'ccur to me though I don't really want them. These thoughts aren't really mine Don't need a Sherlock to explain this Open-shut case. I’m willing to let my soul be touched by the hands of helplessness and longing agony It’s a simple tragedy - This universe is perfect, I’m too little to be worth it. What am I to do with me? I love it and I hate it, Stumbling on a serendipity. I feel like I’m living the dream! But wait second! It’s reality… When I think a thought, I wonder why They 'ccur to me though I don't really want them. These thoughts aren't really mine Don't need a Sherlock to explain this Open-shut case. It's a fickle little part of me…

She lived there like it was forever. And one day, came realisation. Wait! Wait for me! Oh, I’m lost! In this haven. It’s fading away from me. Stay! You said you would stay with me; seems like a haze of empty promises. The light’s going out, it’s pulling me away. So, why does my soul remain? I hear a call from the end. It’s near. It’s reaching for me. They all seemed so real to me The visions and fantasies Oh! how they crumble away. Ooh and time goes by, I feel it Lifting this veil of ashes and sweetness. Am I just asleep? Creating this dream. I’m paralysed. I’m stuck inside. But how can I leave this perfect world behind? The colours, they all start to bleed oh and now I see. I feel. A thought. A wish. A dream. A pounding to wake from this sleep. They all seemed so real to me The visions and fantasies I’m watching them crumble away. Ooh and time goes by, I feel it Lifting this veil oh! Breaking away from me, I’m free as my soul can be. Drifting alone to the day. Ooh and time goes by, I feel it Lifting this veil of ashes and sweetness.

Gazing over the scene Lay so hushed, and I breathe. Did I walk myself out of my sleep? Break away to bits, Free to wander no more. Did I walk myself out of my dreams? What it’s like to feel again, Feel this world so real and vain Wonder when I’ll dream again, Wish for worlds of fairy tales Waking up, I’m real again Sleep has come to fade away What I’d give to see again See the world I made me.
