I was only dreaming
Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singing
I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away
All these scattered dreams
Dying
Everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter
There is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground
Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Sign my love a lost memory
From the end of the century
Well it's enough, to make you sick
To cast a stone, and throw a brick
But when the sky, is falling down
It burned your dreams, into the ground
Christian's lesson is what he's been sold
We are normal and self-controlled
Remember to learn to forget
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well I'm not stoned
I'm just fucked up
I got so high I can't stand up
Well I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed
I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess
Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
Like refugees
We're lost like refugees
The brutality, of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
Of another place and time
Where my family's from
Singing
I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away
All these scattered dreams
Dying
Everyone's reminded
Hearts are washed in misery
Drenched in gasoline
Laughter
There is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday
Now live in the underground
Dreaming I was only dreaming Of another place and time Where my family's from Singing I can hear them singing When the rain had washed away All these scattered dreams Dying Everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery Drenched in gasoline Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday Now live in the underground Life before the lobotomy Christian sang the eulogy Sign my love a lost memory From the end of the century Well it's enough, to make you sick To cast a stone, and throw a brick But when the sky, is falling down It burned your dreams, into the ground Christian's lesson is what he's been sold We are normal and self-controlled Remember to learn to forget Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes Well I'm not stoned I'm just fucked up I got so high I can't stand up Well I'm not cursed 'cause I've been blessed I'm not in love 'cause I'm a mess Like refugees We're lost like refugees Like refugees We're lost like refugees The brutality, of reality Is the freedom that keeps me from Dreaming I was only dreaming Of another place and time Where my family's from Singing I can hear them singing When the rain had washed away All these scattered dreams Dying Everyone's reminded Hearts are washed in misery Drenched in gasoline Laughter There is no more laughter Songs of yesterday Now live in the underground Explain Request ×
