[Intro – whispered / distorted] (Yeah…) Wake up—wake up— No rest… no rest… [Verse 1] My bones lay in darkness My soul, eternal wake I rip my mind from freedom Just to finally want a break Pressure crawling under skin Every breath another sin I scream into the hollow night But nothing ever screams back in [Pre-Chorus – building] I reach out but it slips away Every word I couldn’t say I drown inside what I became Still chained to yesterday [Chorus – explosive] I can only dream of you I can only dream of you What I lost, what I need Tearing holes right through me I can only dream of you When the night pulls me through I’m awake but I bleed I can only dream [Verse 2] Static ringing in my head Broken thoughts I never said I fake the smile, I fake the calm While I’m rotting underneath the skin Hope tastes bitter on my tongue Every prayer comes back undone I tried to run, I tried to change But I’m still the damaged one [Pre-Chorus – shouted backing vocals] I claw my way out just to fall Another crack in every wall I gave you all I had to give Now I don’t feel shit at all [Chorus – heavier] I can only dream of you I can only dream of you What I lost, what I need Still poisoning me I can only dream of you When the truth cuts me loose I’m awake but I bleed I can only dream [Bridge – breakdown / half-time] I’m over it— (OVER IT) I’m under it— (UNDER IT) Caught in between the hate and love I’m choking on I’m over it— (OVER IT) I’m under it— (UNDER IT) Still reaching for a ghost That never was (pause) Never was… Never enough… [Breakdown – screamed] I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND IT STILL WASN’T REAL I’M SCREAMING IN MY SLEEP TRYING JUST TO FEEL TRYING JUST TO— FEEL! [Final Chorus – biggest] I can only dream of you I can only dream of you What I lost, what I need Still killing me I can only dream of you As the world splits in two I’m awake, I can’t breathe I can only dream of you Anymore [Outro – fading / whispered] Still dreaming… Still bleeding… Still dreaming of you…
