Author Notes:
Your soul is a vast ocean between the shores of waking and sleep, and in its depths lies a lamp that only the brave may kindle. When you ignite that flame within the dream, you become both the dreamer and the dreamed—the architect of clouds, the weaver of silence, the sovereign of your own hidden kingdom.

[Verse 1]
Ceiling melts into the fabric of the sky,
Numbers on the clock start to fall away.
Hands pass through the bedroom wall,
But I’m still wide awake.
---
Count my breaths...
One...
Two...
Feel the buzzing growing in my head.
Little switch on the inside flips,
Colors sharpen and start to focus,
Washed in red...

[Chorus]
Lucid dreaming,
I’m not sleeping,
I can taste the air I’m breathing.
Every shadow,
Every meaning,
Bending this moment, I believe it.
---
Lucid dreaming,
Watch me steer it,
Turn my nightmare into a secret.
If I think it,
I can be it,
In this mental-world,
I can see it.

[Verse 2]
I rewrite the hallway door,
Now it opens up to the sea.
Every wave obeys my hand,
Crashing on the shore against my feet.
---
Faces that I used to fear,
Freeze the second that I speak.
I turn them into paper planes,
Folding calm from the bleak.
 
[Chorus]
Lucid dreaming,
I’m not sleeping,
I can taste the air I’m breathing.
Every shadow,
Every meaning,
Bending this moment, I believe it.
---
Lucid dreaming,
Watch me steer it,
Turn my nightmare into a secret.
If I think it,
I can be it,
In this mental-world,
I can see it.

[Bridge]
Ask the sky opens a hidden question,
Words appear in trailing light.
Change the story,
Change direction,
Drawing the sun into night.
---
If I wake I’ll lose this grip,
So I hold the glowing thread.
Walk the edge of sleep, beyond logic,
Halfway living within my head.
