Well you lie on your back
And mill through the scars
So careful you are to
Surrender a thing
----
But Jesus ain't coming
So don't waste your time
Not yours and not mine
You're only dreaming
---
And while you were scheming
With silver machines
Far above the leaves
I snuck into your scene
---
Don't lie there, lurking
Behind your troubled walls
Wicked as they are
You're not deceiving
---
And if I could find your heart
I would pull it from your chest
And smash you with my fist
Til' it was beating
---
And if there's a hole inside
Heaven in your bed
'Cause the angel that you kissed
Just left you bleeding
---
I know it ain't easy
To keep roundin' on
When the voices in your skull
Are always screaming
---
Broke into your prison
And dropped the sleeping guards
Painted flowers on the bars
And snuck you out the yard
---
Paralysed and gleaming
With visions of new states
We're wrapped in our embrace
While we were dreaming
---
