Sleep To Dream
I tell you how I feeI, but you don't care I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to steep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
I have never been so insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride First you run like a fool just to be at my side And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, and I can't abide
I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds and you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore, you don't have to be so defensive Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame Just go back to the rock from under which you came Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim - And don't forget the blame
I got my feet on the ground, and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds anit you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around, I got my own hell to raise
Days like this, I don't know what to do with myself All day - and all night I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath Isay to myself I need fuel - to take flight -
And there's too much going on But It's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
Is that why they call me a sullen girl - sullen girl They don't know I used to sall the deep and tranquil sea But he washed me shore and he took my pearl - And left an empty shell of me
And there's too much going on But It's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion
Once my lover, now my friend What a cruel thing to pretend What a cunning way to condescend Once my lover, and now my friend Oh, you creep up like the clouds And you set my soul at ease Then you let your love abound And you bring me to my knees
Oh, it's evil, babe, the way you let your grace enrapture me When well you know, I'd be insane - to ever let that dirty game recapture me
You made me a shadowboxer, baby I wanna be ready for what you do I been swinging all around me 'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
Oh, your gaze is dangerous And you fill your space so sweet If I let you get too close You'll set your spell on me So darlin' I just wanna say Just in case I don't come through I was on to every play I just wanted you
But, oh, it's so evil, my love, the way you've no reverence to my concern So I'lI be sure to stay wary of you, love, to save the pain of Once my flame and twice my burn
You made me a shadowboxer, baby I wanna be ready for what you do I been swinging all around me 'Cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move
I've been a bad girl I've been careless with a delicate man And it's a sad sad world When a girl will break a boy Just because she can Don't you tell me to deny it I've done wrong and I want to Suffer for my sins I've come to you 'cause I need Guidance to be true And I just don't know where I can begin
What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love
Heaven help me for the way I am Save me from these evil deeds Before I get them done I know tomorrow brings the consequence At hand But I keep livin' this day like The next will never come
Oh help me but don't tell me To deny it I've got to cleanse myself Of all these lies till I'm good Enough for him I've got a lot to lose and I'm Bettin' high So I'm beggin' you before it ends just tell me where to begin
What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love
Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay Give me room to lay the law and let me go I've got to make a play To make my lover stay So what would an angel say The devil wants to know
What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love
What I need is a good defense 'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal And I need to be redeemed To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love
You moved like honey in my dream last night Yeah, some old fires were burning You came near to me and you endeared to me But you couldn't quite discern me
Does that scare you? I'll let you run away But your heart will not oblige you You'll remember me like a melody Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you
And my big secret - Gonna win you over Slow like honey, heavy with mood
I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard I'll invade your demeanor And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze And you'll wonder what it is about me
It's my big secret - Keeping you coming Slow like honey, heavy with mood
Though dreams can be deceiving Like faces are to hearts They serve for sweet relieving When fantasy and reality lie too far apart
So I stretch myself across, like a bridge And I pull you to the edge And stand there waiting Trying he attain The end to satisfy the story Shall I release you? Must I release you? As I rise to meet my glory
But my big secret Gonna hover over your life Gonna keep you reaching When I'm gone like yesterday When I'm high like heaven When I'm strong like music 'Cuz I'm slow like honey, and Heavy with mood
I lie in an early bed, thinking late thoughts Waiting for the black to replace my blue I do not struggle in your web because it was my aim to get caught But daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary Of waiting to be consumed by you
Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait Forever Darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win but you must Make the endeavor
Oh, your love give me a heart contusion Adagio breezes fill my skin with sudden red Your hungry flirt borders intrusion I'm building memories on things we have not said Full is not heavy as empty, not nearly my love, not nearly my love, not nearly
Give me the first taste, let it begin heaven cannot wait Forever Darling, just start the chase - I'll let you win, but you must Make the endeavor
You'll never see the courage I know Its colors' richness won't appear within your view I'll never glow - the way that you glow Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
You'll say you understand, but You don't understand You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch - these things that I hold The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own You'll never feel the heat of this soul My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
You'll never live the life that I live I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night You'll never hear the message I give You'll say it links as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
You'll say you understand, you'll never understand I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie
Darling, give me your absence tonight Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside And don't bother leaving the light on 'Cuz I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion And I ran my hand over a strange inversion A vacancy that just did not belong The child is gone
Honey help me out of this mess I'm a stranger to myself But don't reach for me, I'm too far away I don't wanna talk 'cuz there's nothing left to say So my Darling, give me your absence tonight Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside 'Cuz there's no kind of loving that can make this all right I'm trying to find a place I belong And I suddenly feel like a different person From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion And I ran my hand over a strange inversion As the darkness turns into the dawn The child is gone The child is gone
