How can I wake you…

I hear you speaking in your sleep,
Clearly dreaming,
Of better days,
As a smile begins to creep,
Of fleeting memories,
Of where you once knew,
The view is sweet.
How can I wake you? (How can I wake you?)

When you smile in your dreams,
I deal with harsh reality,
The world and all it’s schemes,
As your head rests light and free,
The harsh light it gleams,
So you can sleep…
How can I wake you? (How can I wake you?)

How can I wake you?
When you feel at peace,
And I see the world crumble at it’s core,
How can I wake you? (How can I wake you?)
When this night may never cease,
And your world is a roar,
How can I wake you? (How can I wake you?)

The night is dark,
Like the colors your eyes see,
Behind closed lids,
The universe is blackening,
Like the ending of it all,
Around me,
But I let you sleep.

“Do not disturb” upon your door,
Give the rest to the poor poor souls, (poor souls)
I let you sleep. (I let you sleep)
No rest for the wicked,
But for my love I keep,
The world behind drawn curtains.
It’s my responsibility. (my responsibility)

When you smile in your dreams,
I deal with harsh reality,
The world and all it’s schemes,
As your head rests light and free,
The harsh light it gleams,
So you can sleep…
How can I wake you? (How can I wake you?)

How can I wake you,
When it feels so unfair every morning,
When I open my eyes,
And find we are still here.
I’d rather let you dream without me.
(I’d rather let you dream)
(I’d rather let you dream)

Without me…
