close the door
and drift away into a sea of uncertainty
all your hopes and dreams
have faded out of reach
remember all your bad dreams
are not far from reality
would you write again for me?

when you awake and there you are
not far off from the line before
just how long did it take for you to understand
where your feelings stopped and writing began?
convince yourself to take control
play to the hilt this unlikely role

remember all the bad dreams
are not far from reality
would you write again for me?
and who bade you stop
this living art
have you forgot
just what you are?
if you don't want to then
you could at least pretend
that the paper's your soul and your bud's in the pen
and maybe then you'd see the light and read the truth
you had the right
of heaven sent you down stream
where banished eyes haven't been
would you smile again for me?

you misread your fate line
and long run out ahead of time
would you write again for me?
when you awake
and there you are
not far from the line before
and just how long it takes for you to understand
where your feelings start and writing began
convince yourself to take control
play to the hilt this unlikely role
heaven sent you downstream
where banished eyes haven't been
would you smile again for me?
