lyrics

I awake with my heart bound to forest floors,
To the vines that embrace the trees
Intertwined with the roots that feel beneath
Where the canopies fill my dreams

I've never felt so lost in this unacquainted place
Let the tangled branches consume your heart

We'll run the boardwalks that hang from the skies,
Leaving our traces where no heart can hide
Chase the pages and anchors that soar through the clouds
Let go of the undergrowth

Night has brought to those who sleep,
Only dreams they cannot keep
Rotten and broken in their beds
They cannot capture this

Abandon the fantasies of night and open your eyes
Daydreamer, this is reality

And I’ve shown you what’s in my heart
And you keep out the fire that’s burning me down
And I haven’t slept in days
So don’t wake me up
And I’ve shown you what’s in my heart
And you keep out the fire that’s burning me down
And I haven’t slept in days
So don’t wake me up from reality

My love won’t be hollowed
Like the trees that have fallen from sorrow

The skies are leashed with foxes
And the ground is murdered by crows
The midnight sun guides me home
To the love I’ve always known

And I’ve shown you what’s in my heart
And you keep out the fire that’s burning me down
And I haven’t slept in days
So don’t wake me up
And I’ve shown you what’s in my heart
And you keep out the fire that’s burning me down
And I haven’t slept in days
So don’t wake me up from reality

We'll run the boardwalks that hang from the skies,
Leaving our traces where no heart can hide (where no heart can hide)
Chase the pages and anchors that soar through the clouds
Let go of the undergrowth

Abandon the fantasies of night and open your eyes
Daydreamer, this is reality
