[Intro] Layer one… I built the skyline just to frame your silhouette. Layer two… the rain only falls when you need to feel something real. Layer three… you’re starting to wonder which one of us is dreaming. Welcome home. [Verse 1] I built a world from your quiet wishes in the negative space between two thoughts No clocks to chase you into morning no sharp reminders of what you’re not I watch the way your shoulders drop the way you stop looking for the door I tell myself I've built a cure something we’ll keep coming back for There’s no dust upon the roses No shadows on your face Every flaw erased… and nothing left out of place [pre-chorus] If this is fake, then let it be it just feels right to me If this is wrong, I don’t care — it’s kinder here than reality [chorus] Synthetic heaven Where the edges blur and the fall feels like flying Synthetic heaven If this is illusion… just let me stay here Does it matter if the stars aren’t real? If they shine like they do when you’re near Synthetic heaven… Hold me here. [verse 2] I remember life before you let me into your world But my memories blur more each day You hand me something that feels like home And I want more before it’s gone every time it pulls me back We're just skin and second chances breathing air that feels too good counting down before it fades I was scared of endings You said nothing really ends it just begins again I should question what I’m touching but I won’t look too close If you built this just for me I’ll choose it every time [chorus] Synthetic heaven Where the edges blur and the fall feels like flying Synthetic heaven If this is illusion… just let me stay here Does it matter if the stars aren’t real? If they shine like they do when you’re near Synthetic heaven… Hold me here. Synthetic heaven… Don’t wake me Don’t wake me Don’t wake me yet [bridge] The real world never chose you it only watched you fall If that’s what you call “real life” I don’t want real at all I built a place where we don’t break And I’m staying. That’s my call. [outro] Why wake up? What’s waiting there? A world that never chose us Or one that never cared at all Synthetic heaven... Don't wake me...
