(Chorus) I dream in metaphor and confusion So distracted by the illusion I don't remember names and faces I forget the times and places But I know they're important They're always important Until it's too late (Verse 1) I lay here for hours, struggling through a maze of my own creation I need to write it down but I'm too tired I have too many things I need to do It's so mundane and insane (Chorus) I dream in metaphor and confusion So distracted by the illusion I don't remember names and faces I forget the times and places But I know they're important They're always important Until it's too late It's always too late (Verse 2) Is it daytime or has the night come again Have I slept through another nightmare Still so tired but I need to get up I have a job to do and there's always work to be done It's never enough That's just how it goes (Chorus) I dream in metaphor and confusion So distracted by the illusion I don't remember names and faces I forget the times and places But I know they're important They're always important Until it's too late It's always too late (Bridge) These stories in my head are so chaotic I need to write them down but I have no time The songs are always constant and exotic I need to get out of bed, I'm running out of time (Chorus) I dream in metaphor and confusion So distracted by the illusion I don't remember names and faces I forget the times and places But I know they're important They're always important Until it's too late It's always too late I dream in metaphor and confusion But I'm not really distracted by the delusion I pretend like I can't remember names or faces I act like I forgot the times and places Because I know they're important They're always important And it's already too late Because we can't change fate
