There's a light under the door, watch it seep through the crack Keep my body still, but my mind is saying: Get back Why's it looking at me? Why is it looking at me like that? Didn't ask for company, now it's locking on me, it's like that Get under my skin, build a wall to hide behind You're tearing me up, turning my water into wine Don't you like my new design? (God is asleep, so why can't I?) If I could only get a second to myself Then maybe I would own what's mine Step into light, claim the power, take it away Instead I'm climbing up the walls, taking the fall, and climbing again See me the way I see myself at night You'll be safest if you keep yourself awake It can't be mistaken The dream is a lie The dream is a lie The dream is a lie I'm locked up, full of doubt, tryna figure out How to haunt somebody in the same way they've freaked me out I'm a freak, I'm a fraud, I'm afraid I'll be paralysed forever, keep repeating what I say When that light inside's not hitting the same, 'cause it's being corrupted by another I've got a problem, it's nothing like I'm told, motherfucker If I'm gonna feel alive, I'm gonna feel it alone! The dream is a lie The dream is a lie The dream is a lie The dream is a lie A serpent's tongue on the edge of the blade I walk this line knowing I'll never be the same To torture myself through my younger eyes The dream is a lie See me the way I see myself at night You'll be safest if you keep yourself awake The dream is a lie
