Dreamcatcher

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] The shade crawls across the valley floor, Nightfall cools the daylight's warmth, Things that remain in the dark, Waiting for a shot at those lost, [Hook] Am I in their ranks? Am I in their sights? [Verse] Anxiety chokes down my throat, Like a smoke, Tearing the air from my lungs, Nightmares pursue, A day worried through, An omen of the frightful storm, Maelstrom at horizon's door... Noooooo-- aahh, ah no... [Interlude] [Keyboard Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Dream, Dream-catcher, Woven from a hope, I don't think I believe anymore, I've lost, The path I was meant to roam, [Chorus] Dream-catcher, Silver threads gone coal, Lighten the load of burdens on my soul, ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo... Dream, Dream-catcher, Should it come to be, That the nightmares in me, Are reality, ...Would you protect me? [Post-Chorus] The night's so dark, The fog so thick, I can't find my way, Anymore... No... [Guitar Lead] [Verse] Whoa--oh, The world passin' by, Downward toward a fragmented mind, Uninhabited thought spaces, The idea of gettin' better, Long-gone, With no traces, [Hook] Am I so far lost? Am I too far gone? [Verse] The dreams and waking life, Combine, When there ain't no time, Ain't no time for respite, In a place that values quantity, Over the price to pay in strife, [Violin Solo] [Verse] The dreams and waking life, Combine, When there ain't no time, Ain't no time for respite, In a place that values quantity, Over the price to pay in strife, [Build] Somebody, Something, Get me out, Get me out of this misery! [Breakdown] [Bridge] A blue light, Brilliant bright, Tells me, Tells me, It'll be alright, It'll be alright, Just gotta keep my chin up, Rearm and retry, The end'll be the end, But till then, I gotta keep on, Keep on, Keep on movin' on, I can find rest, I can find relief, In the company, Of the others like me, Alone I am weak, Together we're strong, Stronger than, Any shadow-born monstrosity, They breed, Ahhh-- yeah... [Instrumental Hook] [Pre-Chorus] Ooooo--oooh, Dream, Dream, Dream-catcher, Woven from hubris, An old dogma that leads to, Fruitless stress, [Chorus] Dream-catcher, Silver threads choke, There's more to being, Than following blindly, Oooh... Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo, Dream, Dream-catcher, Should it come to be, That the nightmares in me, Are reality, ...You wouldn't protect me, [Post-Chorus] All that I need to press on, Is already here, Given freely, [Refrain] Found in, A flame within, And common sense, A love for others, And respect, For the world around us, And in the threads that unite us... (We can find relief...) (We can find relief...) (We can find relief...) [Outro]
