lyrics

I’m still haunted by the dream the I had,
when I was much younger. 

We were married in a garden,
where a rose was all I saw. 

And we met in a museum,
where the hallways stretched around us.
And 
I found you in the middle,
of marble pillars shaped like arms. 


I spent years inside my mind,
growing older than I am now.

And the time it came to marry,
so we wed amongst the flowers.

And we walked to a gazebo,
stand inside its eggshell frame,

We took the rings, we said the vows,
and you took on a new name...



And you stood upon the summit,
of your mountain topped toes.

As I arched down to meet you,
in the middle of the road
.
And we boarded on a carriage
that adorned us with light,
on the back all draped with cans,
I kept a flower at my side.

As the horse it pulled away,
we waved to the friends and family, 

and a tear was in your eye,
when we felt the carriage shake.
And that beast had started jumping,
startled by the roaring cheers,

as you slipped your gentle grasp away from mine,
you disappeared. 


I awoke to beating foot prints, trampled limbs and teary eyes.

It took a week for me to find, that nothing real had ever died...

But nothing could prepare me, oh, to lose the one I loved,
to the demons that my mind could dream of.
