Dream Away

(album: Monsters - 2020)

I was busy dreaming
Building us a world
Day dreaming up a good life
That wouldn't hurt and wouldn't spoil

The sun never set there
The water, clean and pure
In the beauty there was purpose
So certain, safe and sure

I could've lived this lie forever
But from far, far away
I thought I heard you calling
You said I could not stay

And I woke up in a fever
My calculations were wrong
The pillars could not hold us
And the angels are gone

When hope makes you bleed
When life gets you down
There's all the love you need
Underground

To make a way for the dark hearts
To feel the love I've found
There's all the love you need
Underground

We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away

A picture of a sunset
Above a turquoise tide
The beauty of a just world
And the convenience of a lie

I tore down that picture
There is no other perfect life
But in the dirt under my fingers
Maybe something will survive

When hope makes you bleed
When life gets you down
There's all the love you need
Underground

To make a way for the dark hearts
To feel the love I've found
There's all the love you need
Underground

We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
We dream away
