I've loved a thousand loves and I've kissed a thousand lips
I've tasted every sound from a golden goblet sipped
Sometimes it's hard to face the day
Just close my eyes and drift away
In these lands I travel deep
I see clearest when I fall asleep

Just cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams

I've been a million places and I've met a thousand friends
I've sailed the oceans peaceful and I've seen the worlds end
Sometimes the roses fade to gray
Just close my eyes and drift away
To all the worlds I have made
I see clearest when I fall asleep

Just cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams, woah

And I escape
When I leave this place
I'm not looking back
From this prison break

I've been crowned as king and I've fallen on hard times
I've been noble in my deeds but committed heartless crimes
For all that it's worth, imagination gave it birth
These words that I sing are a piece of hope that I will bring

Just cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the Illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams

And I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams
