Electric President - Nightmare No. 5 or 6 lyrics

Woke up cold and the room was dark Just some light from the moon Felt your breath on my neck and it made me homesick I don't mind if it's all in my head My mind was built for lies And your laugh sounds like gla**, and it cuts right through me Dreaming is not a one way process You wanted problems? You got 'em You got enough to break down anyone You want to prove that you're the tough kind But no one asks to be a martyr; it just happens to you You say we've got it wrong, that you're different Well, call it what you want, it's same difference You bit off more than you can chew with this Now we're calling in the debt No matter if it sinks you Daylight breaks and the world looks bent Like I've got shotgla** eyes Pick me up, fix my tie, roll me toward the cliffside I don't mind if I fall this time My knees were built for scabs And my hands meet demands just when no one's asking Dreaming is not a one way process We woke just before the dawn, got dressed up among birdsong Then crossed that eternal lawn Our heads were pointed skyward, and the sun, it warmed our backs And we wandered, not really knowing where it all would end We walked 'til the sun went down, walked straight toward that violent sound The waves threw their weight around And it all felt so simple, like we knew just how to be And we smiled, 'til the waves came and dragged us out to sea
