ThouShaltNot - A Dream lyrics

Open up your secret Tell me how I might refract For I am one and one life in one time's A mirror that I've been dying to crack And let the world be more Though I know in each act I open up a door I wonder still at the labyrinths before That now lie unwandered and ignored I could swear that I've lived as long as you That I can imitate anything you do But your hands are hundreds, I've just two Spun from the clock's relentless core I could move like blown air Everywhere, omniscient and wild I would be your brother, lover, father, and child I'd find a way to be foolish and be wise And trace all of the seams in time's disguise And at the end of the day, I could blink my eyes To reload another self once more Now I'm hearing your footsteps in the halls While your singing is arching over walls Tell me, can it be really you at all In skies and on the ocean floor? Last night I had a dream that you adored me Last night I had a dream that I shone bright The more I am at once to everybody The more I'll be like you, the more I can rewrite Here outside it's raining, It's wailing I'm soaked to the blood Somehow I know that you did this It's your kiss on my head, your dry ground under the flood And if I learn to swim Then you're still the sea that I'm writhing in Defining all that I am and that I've ever been And all whom I will never be Is there a way I might drink of you, not drown? Is there a way I might find the pipeline out Or diffuse my body into sound Becoming waves, becoming free? Last night I had a dream that you adored me Last night I had a dream that I shone bright The more I am at once to everybody The more I'll be like you, the more I can rewrite I dreamt I was the air, that I was so strong I dreamt I was a promise I could keep I dreamt I was a film, I was a novel A prayer for the impossible, a dire and desperate leap I dreamt about a car of grease and metal I dreamt I was the moment of its crash I dreamt I was a fire, a shrieking kettle A cradle and a coffin and a wolf among the sheep I dreamt I was a priest without forgiveness I dreamt I was a thief who see God I turned away my eyes to keep them human And waking up I find that they've been stolen in my sleep I dreamt that I had never loved another I dreamt her heart was safe behind her ribs That I could stop this war, that I could save her That I was just a dream returning to the deep
