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
