[Verse 1] The turn of the new year seems so far away now... And yet you’re still here in the dreams that follow... Sodium layers paint the windows like nuclear winter, leaving only ghosts in shadows... An opulent house sticks out like an eyesore in a shabby town... Inviting us in to make waves in the night ocean. [Chorus] The nocturnal revelation, a nightly confession— dream state awareness, waking state blindness. Replaying the moments, following them through, never the ending— just fragments of you. [Verse 2] Rewinding the tape, I follow, never playing it through to the end. What was in plain sight— I was oblivious, like clipped wings of birds trying to take flight. Conscious thoughts get in the way of choosing where to lie, yet they don’t deny— always there to satisfy. [Chorus] The nocturnal revelation, a nightly confession— dream state awareness, waking state blindness. Replaying the moments, following them through, never the ending— just fragments of you. [Bridge] Over the edge with a perfect view— a harpy in the shadows… Keep your distance from its consuming presence. Nocturnal despair, a lucid trigger— suddenly waking to your sultry stare. [Final Chorus] The nocturnal revelation, a nightly confession— dream state awareness, waking state blindness. Replaying the moments, following them through, never the ending— just fragments of you... [Outro] A lifetime has elapsed since we last embraced, but you still appear in my dreams— only this time, I don’t want to wake up.
