Soon as my eyes shut the slide show begins Yesterday is gone now and the panic sets in With the weight upon my chest and a ghost upon my back And the numbing sensation of everything I lack that leaves me Dreaming dreaming dreaming Your real world away and beautiful beautiful bright eyes lie Only beautiful Oh beautiful bright eyes cry sing a late morning lullaby First sound of morning is gray and alarming It's so disappointing and the day is gone so soon While the rest of the world greets the day and feels new I will push it away just like I always do I will be Dreaming dreaming dreaming Your real world away and beautiful Oh beautiful bright eyes lie Only beautiful Oh beautiful bright eyes try sing a late morning lullaby late morning lullaby oh I would darken my window so I can fall asleep While the critics frown down on the hours I cheat that leave me Dreaming dreaming dreaming Your real world away
