I've seen a ceiling of screens
Shaped like clouds in the sky
I saw a wall, it was all between me
And where I'll lie
I laid on a bed with my head
Spinning zero and one into two
Dreaming of you
And how we fade
I laid in a shower of color and numbers
And numbers and words
I opened my eyes and my ears and my eyes
And I saw and I heard
I opened my mouth, nothing came out
Nothing at all I could do
Dreaming of you
And how we fade
I dug a hole
It was only as deep
As the ground I had known
I fell asleep
Just so I wouldn't be left to die all alone
I opened my mouth, hoping to shout
Hoping the words were true
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
And how we fade

I've seen a ceiling of screens

Shaped like clouds in the sky

I saw a wall, it was all between me

And where I'll lie

I laid on a bed with my head

Spinning zero and one into two

Dreaming of you

And how we fade

I laid in a shower of color and numbers

And numbers and words

I opened my eyes and my ears and my eyes

And I saw and I heard

I opened my mouth, nothing came out

Nothing at all I could do

Dreaming of you

And how we fade

I dug a hole

It was only as deep

As the ground I had known

I fell asleep

Just so I wouldn't be left to die all alone

I opened my mouth, hoping to shout

Hoping the words were true

Dreaming of you

And how we fade
