[Introduction] You're scared. The time is now. Did you take the leap? It's time to join me now. (Ah) As you drift into dreamland, Don't open your eyes. Soon, all things will be clear. You'll be free. Just close your eyes. Fantasy is the essence of reality. You'll find out soon. Your journey's just begun. [Verse 1] This is your life. This is your time. There's no escape now. There's only now. (Ah) Are you scared? (ah) Your time is now Time to take the lead Time to join me now [Chorus] Backwards to Wonderland, We float, float away, away, away. And I'll wait with honey breath at an empty gate To catch a dream of starlings, flocks of birds Called by the song of the Phantom Queen. An end has been prophesied. [Post-Chorus] To dreamland, to slumberland, to nightmares, to Wonderland (Ah, ah, ah, ah) To dreamland, to slumberland, to nightmares, to Wonderland (Ah, ah, ah, ah) The time is now, don't be scared, just close your eyes (Ah) The time is now, don't be scared, just close your eyes (Ah) [Verse 2] One by one by one. My instinct is to catch you, baby, as you fall, even as you pull away. We dance beneath glowing leaves of idealism. Fear not, love, the forest is safe. Familiar eyes on unfamiliar faces linger just above ground. Somewhere, there is where here has no place. Solid ground slips beneath her feet. There is a sudden absence of light, an unfamiliar absence of sound. (What is that terrifying silence?) There's nothing to fear, and nothing to be scared of. But exhilaration makes the heart pound (pound, pound, pound, pound) The heart pounds with electric sound. (pound, pound, pound) Delicious scent beneath the cherry tree Draws you in and draws you to me. I know you're scared. The time is now. [Verse
