Asleep Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not certain I'm not a ghost
Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told?
I know shadows follow the rules
But what if tonight
By the mercy of light
I could choose?

[Chorus 1]
Watercolor lucid dreams
I'll paint a future
That I can redeem
For just one precious third of my life
I'm not hypnotized
By the glow of a screen
Or the darkness I've seen
[Post-Chorus 1]
With these tired eyes
I've seen enough for tonight

[Verse 2]
As my eyes close, my guards come down
An armistice was signed
Predator and prey on equal ground
I lose my balance at the water's edge
A Freudian slip
But I can't remember what was said [Chorus 2]
Watercolor vivid dreams
Under lock and key
Vague silhouettes
Are all I've got left
Till I fall back asleep
An afterimage of the divine
Or just my restless mind
A broken cassette
Can't help but forget
And fade over time

[Post-Chorus 2]
I'll press rewind
Twenty-seven thousand times
Give or take
[Bridge]
I'll paint a future
That I can redeem
I'll paint a future

[Chorus 3]
Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams
Watercolor vivid dreams
I'll paint a future
Watercolor vivid dreams
I'll paint a future
I'll paint a future
