In the dark And I’m right on the middle mark I’m just in the tier of everything That rides below the surface And I watch from a distance of seventeen And I’m short of the other’s dreams Of being golden and on top It’s not what you painted in my head There’s so much there instead of all the colors that I saw
Oh, we all are living in a dream But life ain’t what it seems Oh, everything’s a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything’s a mess
But I want to dream I want to dream Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized Oh, the prettiest of lights That hang the hallways of the home And the cries from the strangers out at night They don’t keep us up at night We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream But life isn’t what it seems Oh, everything’s a mess And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything’s a mess
