lyrics

This dream's a mess
Plagued and blessed at best
Stripped and dressed
Missed and kept
Wet and dry
Embraced and left

Livin's not hard
When you're drinkin in bars with guards
You won't get far
In a flat foot car
You're runnin in place
You're just starin at the stars

'Cept it's just a guess
Don't really know which way yet
So before the shit is set
I'll have to go unseen
And be a dream machine

See it slip away
You're holdin on tight today
Tomorrow never comes
Just zeroes and ones
It's the same damn thing
You're still hidin from the sun

I wanna leave this place behind
Open up my heart and lose my mind
But I keep goin in between
It's better for my self esteem
To keep it unseen
And be a dream machine

Gimme some time
Just put it on pause, rewind
Play it in my mind
In a year I'll be fine
When the last brick falls
I can find the perfect line

'Cept it's just a guess
Don't really know which way yet
So before the shit is set
I'll have to go unseen
And be a dream machine
