Lyrics
Somewhere there's a place I know in Watercolour Dreams.Somewhere there's a teacher, who can show me what it means.
Features from the past fall down and melt against the screen
Smile their fiction smiles, just like the cat that got, the cat that got the cream.
I'll be there when I get there and I'll get there when I choose.
I'll talk when I am ready when there's nothing left to prove.
I'll judge you when I know you walked a mile in your shoes
And I'll only start complaining when I've finished being used.
Somewhere there's a game to play where I know all the rules.
Somewhere there's the tolerance to gladly suffer fools.
And while this sleep of dreams enfolds me with a billion different truths,
A novel lies between the lines whose sense I always lose.
I always lose.
Don't wake me 'til I find it one more moment's all I need
Don't thank me 'til I'm thankful don't stop cutting 'til I bleed
Don't tear me from this sleep until my dreams have taken seed.
Don't wake me in the morning, please don't wake me when you leave.
I swear that I don't feel it but my eyes are showing red.
I swear that I've forgotten but it's all here in my head.
I swear that I don't know you but I know everything you've said.
I swear that I don't feel it, I don't feel it not today.
'Cos I don't feel it.
I don't feel it, not today.
I don't feel anything.
Today.
No, not today."
