The Dream Walker (2014) / LYRICS

Lightning crossed the way
No, can't rest
Been up for weeks
And words they're coming close
They got a nerve
That never sleeps for me

I see great new rooms of gold
And I crawl down to my knees
A liar, a thief, a coward of crime
A laugh my anger off at the sight

Ba bababadada (4 times)

Coming close
Drop in for the fire
Light the shit up
Like the 4th of July

Lonely Cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm outside, Backalley
After the scare, Joining the world
Loudly

I can't recite the names
Or events that come to me
The blur of times and dates
With a drink, or two, or three

Walked these streets before
The smell grows on my feet
I cross, then slide
The land is mine
I wake and wait for my skin to breathe

Ba bababadada (4 times)

Coming close
Drop in for the fire
Light the shit up
Like the 4th of July

Lonely Cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm outside, Backalley
After the scare, Joining the world
Loudly

Lonely Cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm outside, Backalley
After the scare, Joining the world
Loudly

(Lightning crossed the way
No, can't rest
Been up for weeks
And words they're coming close
They got a nerve
That never sleeps for me

Lonely Cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm outside, Backalley
After the scare, Joining the world
Loudly

Lonely Cat-like master
Drive me, take me faster
I'm outside, Backalley
After the scare, Joining the world
Loudly

I wake to a fire in the night
A little lying safe and sound
It's a wild life, so wild, crazy
Cannot tame the crowd
Like beast in the hole, you're MIA
A little hell, you're gonna pay
You're whole at home, a telephone
The king that's here to stay

Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep and awaking to life, with your hands at your side, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed

Out cold in the gentle rain, it's dark
A little lying set your fire
Push away and go, the stereo
A tear ruled death to part
19 with a wicked MRE
What a waste, a memory
Got a steady heart, you played your part
And now get down to the sea

Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep and awaking to life, with your hands at your side

It's more the same, a silly old shame
A dimly lit road, it will wither and go
I climb the light post, illuminate the road
For miles away, so safely on your way

Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep and awaking to life, with your hands at your side

Sleep and awaking to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep and awaking to life, with your hands at your side, paralyzed
Paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed

No bother, climb to it, and call out canary
Don't worry, just grab it, it's something, abuse it
My vision, a forest, a lot here to carry
Slide over and bite it, the apple and berry
The volume and the riot, the smell of the lions
The sunsets behind me, the bullets start flying
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
We're ready to begin

It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost
I've been played, I ain't that clever
A city boy that can never say never
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

Inertia, take cover, a cannon, you ready?
The image, the session, a poet is sleeping
The courier, the pilot, antennas, and sirens
That college, like thieves that can eat with the wolfpack

Finding a light in a world of ruin
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
Setting a sun and the hearts are burning
Leaving the nest to the back of a thousand winds
We're ready to begin

It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost
I've been played, I ain't that clever
A city boy that can never say never
I got the life but that girl bites like

It's on me, it's only a small heart on one sleeve
Academy killer
Off with his head in the make believe game of fools
That girl bites like a wolf

Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin
Are you, you ready? I'm waiting to begin

It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost
I've been played, I ain't that clever
A city boy that can never say never
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

It's alright, a bit scathed, a bit lost
I've been played, I ain't that clever
A city boy that can never say never
I got the life but that girl bites like a wolf

I am still without devotion
Cause we're all asleep at the wheel
Asleep and so surrounded by what we feel
A bad dream

On a rope and pulled through the ocean
With my heart, I'm lost out at sea
And every kind of thought screams misery
So lonely

I've been drowning come lately
But I will not give up
Find the words, they escape me
But I'm full of dumb luck
And the world is an oyster, with a poisonous shell
And the look in my eye is a look that can kill

I am not without emotion
I have ran from the pain of my youth
From the mess that I hunt
The catch and the thrill
And I knew

I am not (dream of it) in the circles of envy
I'd thank God, but then what is he for?
Cause I left a few white calls at his front door
I'll leave more (dream of it)

I've been drowning come lately
But I will not give up (dream of it)
Find the words, they escape me
But I'm full of dumb luck (dream of it)
And the world is an oyster with a poisonous shell
And the look in my eye is a look that can kill

Don't you go, come a little bit closer now
If you like, when you die
March your soul to a little fire now
If you like, when you die
Speak to me, cry a river and make believe

If you like, when you die
Clap your hands, do whatever your heart commands
You will find, when you die, you are mine

Dream of it
Dream of it

Don't you go, come a little bit closer now
If you like, when you die
March your soul to a little fire now
If you like, when you die
Speak to me, cry a river and make believe
If you like, when you die
Clap your hands, do whatever your heart commands
You will find, when you die, you are mine

If I end up alone
Across the baron sand dunes
I've seen my true self
I am burning inside for you

Living a curse
Lost in desire of your touch
I cannot hurt
I cannot cry
I cannot die alone

Don't say it,
Don't, don't say it loud
Don't say it,
Don't, don't say it now

Oh, I know I can give you myself
To hear it ever after all
You send me a kiss with a spell
I feel you ever after

A sting to the eyes
A trace here of you
It's still as bite(?)
It's deep in the legs
Buckle of knees
In a fight

Don't say it
Don't, don't say it now
Don't say it,
Don't, don't say it now

Oh, I know I can give you myself
To hear it ever after all
You send me a kiss with a spell
I feel you ever after all
I play like a kid doing hell
A child without a master at all?
I know that I'll injure myself
By giving it ever after.

Can you come on, and out of the cold
How do we make it out alive?
Get a weapon, lock on the door
Staying awake to stay alive

Hear the volley, knife in the back
Plan of attack, a beady eye
As you follow, weather them back
Flood out a rat, and stab em' dry

Gotcha, come on
Going in deep, falling asleep, an open door
If the battle is drawn up the coast
Pull on the neck and cut the cord

Can you hold it, give me a rope
Come in the lake and find your God
And if you blow it, follow the smoke
Head of the snake and cut it off

Ghosts, harrowing front lines
On the lonely cove, and they left behind
A bit of sorrow

You didn't need to count me out
In the final push is a little wait
I'm next sometimes
You didn't need to count me out
When you feel alone, here's a little hand
Pull my thumb, cause you're on my mind

You kinda got it, further a cause
Broaden the reach, a little pain.
Like a comet, burn up and die
Heat up and drop, a mile away

Like a disease, without the tease
Light on the feet, an atom bomb.
As your dying, fall to your knees
Fall in the street and carry on

Ghosts, harrowing front lines
On the lonely cove, and they left behind
A bit of sorrow

Ghosts, harrowing front lines
On the lonely cove, and they left behind
A bit of sorrow

You didn't need to count me out
In the final push is a little wait
I'm next sometimes
You didn't need to count me out
When you feel alone, here's a little hand
Pull my thumb, cause you're on my mind

Army, army waiting for me
Set the dial to the radio free
Tie 'n tether to the band on the run
Pick em' up with the sound of your guns, woah-oh
Call em' in, to the white of the eyes
Watch em' dance, get kicked to the side
Chatter up in a forbidden tongue
Got you now eat the heart of the young

A Ritual, the words creep out
Like a ghost, the heart sinks down
An Animal, teethe reach out
Holding on, we're coming up strong, up again

We dance like bullets in the wind
Over and over again
over and over again
We're bringing life back from the dead
And follow the rat through the hole
Over and over we go
Over and over we go
So turn up the transistor radio

Trouble trouble, give me some more
cuttin' deep going down to the core
Great Scott, the kids in the rain
We come together with the sound of a train
Shut and lock with a four letter word
Bite your thumb the car's gonna swerve
Sound clatter, the crash city light
Hurry up- this kids gonna fight
--------
Pick up the beat
and pry up the caskets
and call in the masses
and play us the song
Shuffle your feet
and exit the blackness
and call in the masses
You're dancing along

A Ritual, the words creep out
Like a ghost, the heart sinks down
An Animal, teethe reach out
Holding on, we're coming up strong, up again
We dance like bullets in the wind
Over and over again
over and over again
We're bringing life back from the dead
And follow the rat through the hole
Over and over we go
Over and over we go
So turn up the transistor radio.

Do you look at yourself
watch your soul leave the cemetery
find a little fight in those eyes
they're wakened to light across the sky
dream a little harder this time
i'll await you to make the journey
letting go the love
realize this is much of the end
as his arise.

And I'll await you again
I can feel your touch
call your name to the wind
and into the nightfall my love.

Carry up the worst of yourself
till it may so be ordinary
give a taste of it all
and awaken so new, your friends a child
if you want to stay through the night
in a bliss dust of souls and stories
it feels like the night of your life
A reason to bring all the smiles

And I'll await you again
I can feel your touch
call your name to the wind
and into the nightfall my love
I keep your heart next to mine
and when the nights get rough
I reach for you deep inside
I reach for you there my love

And I'll await you again
I can feel your touch
call your name to the wind
and into the nightfall my love
I keep your heart next to mine
and when the nights get rough
I reach for you deep inside
I reach for you there my love

The Earth is budding, can't feel my feet, yeah c'mon
The floor is sinking, deep holes in the street, yeah c'mon
Your eyes have ferried my nightmares to sleep, so c'mon
Tonight is stolen & sharpened my teeth, yeah c'mon

I'm a ghost hesitating
I bite my tongue at your throat
Meet me here halfway across elation
I get off this way when I'm in love

Your eyes are poison, you're making me sweat, so c'mon
I keep a crucifix hung on my neck, yeah c'mon
Back to the cradle, you're chasing the rat, so c'mon
Don't like to think that, that plan of attack, yeah c'mon

I'm a ghost elevating
I crave your soul like my own
Meet me here halfway across elation
I get off this way when I'm in love
When we scream my name I feel like dying
I get off this way when I'm in love

Meet here halfway across elation
I get off this way when I'm in love
When we scream my name I feel like dying
I get off this way when I'm in love

I get off this way when I'm in love

Yeah you, what's with those eyes, what you been thinking?
Hey girl, spread your wings, the world is awaiting to let you in
That smile, a mile away, those colors collide
Hey you, pick up the reigns
And come through my window and don't be shy

I never wanted to say how much I liked you
I never wanted to be one of your sad discoveries
We'll see

Hey there, since you've been gone, I've written about you
These words, you know Hemingway
They don't have any value to any line
My girl, you're scared to go home to a beautiful city
Hey you, I can never relax
That is never an option if you're not mine

I never wanted to live my life without you
I never wanted to coast, always wanted to be an anomaly
I never wanted to say how much I loved you
I never wanted to be one of your sad discoveries

Tell me, tell me
Don't let me down, as if this is my end
I won't let you leave here without these violins

One day I followed your eyes to the top of the mountain
My girl, I think I'm in love, it's the scariest place to be alive

I never wanted to live my life without you
I never wanted to coast, always wanted to be an anomaly
I never wanted to say how much I loved you
I never wanted to be one of your sad discoveries
