My painted face
I'm a clown
And I'm laughing, while my dream
Turns into a nightmare
fade away
I'm asleep, not too deep

The walls of night
Have left me scarred
The broken glass
I stepped on twice

The ardent spirits'
Rusty edge decapitate me

I can't sleep, fear darkness
Go through the motions,
Did I fall asleep? I'm bowling
The old nine pin, a sign unwanted...

Now I'm a target, I'm hot and frozen
Stormy rain, I'm stuck in an elevator
La la la
Wet from the muddy water, breathing hot air,winds convey me
...
The number talks and I cry in my own hell
Wide awake, I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost

I'm skating with a seal
The tarantula, the fly, the broken ring
The dusty little flea
An ugly giant, a dissappoited child

Here comes a rabid snake
The broken violin, a wild ballet
Shakespeare and company
Refuse to kill
The kitten scratching me

...I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling... - awake

You know, if you believe the dreams
The nightly visions, worlds entwined
Then you also fear your shadow
Paranoia part too

All the good things in my life
Dwell in my mind
Took a wrong lane
Every day I hear myself say
Sickening's this feeling
My life, my hopes,
My dream's but a drop
Of fuel for a nightmare

They all turn out the same
My destiny, my flame
Believing is control? No.

The painting comes alive,
Takes me inside a world without a name
A place beyond compare...

[solo]

Believe the dreams that let you sleep
The broken glass you need to sweep
The book you read;
If you found an explanation to help you in any way
You are your own prison!

Woke up today, the good and the bad and the ugly
Dreams are gone... jumped off the carousel

La la la la, la la, la la
La la la la, la la, la la...
