Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream
Life is but a dream

Life is but a dream in a greater scheme
Wakin' up is hard to do
Even if you're quick, somethin' holds you back
Always waitin' in a queue for someone

To tell you you're broke
Or you should not smoke
Anymore cigarettes

Planets will align, if you give 'em time
Nostradamus can't be wrong
And when you least expect, everything connects
Even when the hope is gone there is you

And you'll keep your name
And the things in your brain
Just might see you through

'cause you are light
And in darkest night, you shine
And I guess we're doin' fine
But there's no escapin' our spectacular failure

Diggin' in between things we never seen
Tryin' to find the missin' links
All these scientists are tryin' every trick
Just before the city sinks without trace

So much we've achieved
So I hope when we leave
There's a smile on our face

'cause you are light
And in darkest night, you shine
And I guess we're doin' fine
But there's no escapin' our spectacular failure

'cause you are light
And in darkest night, you shine
And I guess we're doin' fine
But there's no escapin' our spectacular failure
