The wind whispers in my ear
The things I don’t want to hear
Why must this come to me?
Why must this come to pass?
The things I say never amount to anything
Things I do come full circle around and back again
Until I’m…
Half asleep and dreaming
Awake while I’m dead
Hear myself outside my head
Thinking, talking, thinking, gone
Half asleep and dreaming
Awake while I’m dead
Hear myself outside my head
Thinking, talking, thinking, gone
Blissfully wondering why am I here?
Trying to grasp reality
It’s not clear to me, to me
I’m blinded by my own burdens
I can’t see my eyes
Blinded by something out there
Coming out of lies
Am I…
Half asleep and dreaming
What are my thoughts?
Whose are these tears I shed?
Thought you’d know, I think I do
Half asleep and dreaming
What are my thoughts?
Whose are these tears I shed?
Thought you’d know, I think I do
The widow weeps so insecure
She’s telling me I’m here to hear
Listen up, she says, young man
Your time is up, you’re gone for good
There’s nothing left, nothing left to see here
Nothing left to learn
Now I’m…
Half asleep and dreaming
If I’m dead I’m not
If you could then don’t
Thinking nothing, thinking clear now
Half asleep and dreaming
If I’m dead I’m not
If you could then don’t
Thinking nothing, thinking clear now
Thinking clear now, thinking clear now
