lyrics

I saw your face last night in a dream I had
It didn’t seem to go so bad you pulled my shirt, and told me that you wanted me back
Your sister who I’ve never met before
Walked into our room and said that nothing here, is where it’s supposed to be we’re falling

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Cos nothing here is real

Don’t you remember once when you told me once
That every passing minutes just another chance, to turn it all around, I’ll find you
In another life when we’re both cats and then
It doesn’t seem to matter then that nothing here, is where it’s supposed to be we’re falling

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Cos nothing here is real

Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Cos nothing here is real

Thru blood and tears we swept it all away
And on the concrete floor I lay with broken bones
Waiting for the hand of God
But you never came and so my body waits
Hooked up to machines all day
I dream of you
Until they find a cure I’m falling
