Fallin... all the dreams... we were... talkin... now are gone... ohhhhh... they're rottin.... [drum line] used to see a future... a day... like so many other days... with us... thick as thiefs... now I don't see nothin... nor do I believe... [drum line followed by guitar and banjo instrumental] [chorus] it was ever real! feels more... like an antiquated... fever dream! two desperate souls... desperately! clinging on..... to what they... believed they needed... trouble is... one day you have to wake, see the dream for what it was... and then shake... off the sleep... and go on..... liv-ing... [slow acoustic guitar solo] [Verse] so many years... ohhhhhh... I can not remember... ohhhhhh... Drowned out their hollow pain... In liquid spirit... to fill and feel my soul... however artificial... do you think you know me! I don't know you! I know the me I was when I... was drowning with you... He's a Stranger! He's a Danger!! someone better left dead... cause he like us... ohhh what we thought we had...

[slow acoustic guitar and banjo instrumental] [bridge (spoken word)] "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true." [banjo solo] [Pre-outro] I wish it were different... wish I was wrong... wish we both could have been better... or not waited as long... as we did to finally see... the forest for the trees! and coming to the realization! that I can now fully see! (Ohhhhhhh!) [outro] we were never real! feels more... like an antiquated... fever dream! two desperate souls... desperately! clinging on..... to what they... believed they needed... trouble is... one day you have to wake, see the dream for what it was... and then shake... off the sleep... and go on..... liv-ing...
