She can’t hear the shouting
Hiding in her headphones
Drawing chaos on the walls
Dreaming of a new sensation
She can’t count the halos
Floating through the night
Another lie she’d love to believe in
If she concentrates she can still see
Some golden glowing garden open wide
She don’t cast a shadow
In her new apartment
Flowing weightless through the walls
Paper thin and tower tall
She can see the future
He’s holding back her hair
When he tells her that he loves her
Like an answer to some orphaned prayer
Twisting free and shrinking from the light
Now she’s under someone else’s sky
I’m not saying she dreams of me
But I hope at least she dreams of something sweet
I’m not saying that she’s dumb
She don’t think that she’ll become
Anything she thought she’d be
But I hope she dreams of something sweet
Living in the valley
Dying for the sky
Some earthbound constellation
Should be sparkling in the night
Someone else’s heaven
Thought she heard her name
Now she can’t feel the sun,
But photosynthesizes just the same
Budding blooming stretching toward the sky
Wondering when she forgot how to fly
I can’t do anything about the days
But when you fall asleep
I hope you dream of something sweet
