Lyrics
[Verse 1] Heavy Lids are drooping low
Sink into the mattress foam
Everything is spinning sideways now
Down
Falling down
Tangled in the silver sheets
[Verse 2] The room
Is breathing slow
Walls start turning soft as dough
Running through a hallway made of sand
Wait
Please wait
I forgot to lock the heavy door
[Chorus] Waking up is just a lie
Waking up is just a lie
Floating where the birds don't fly
Waking up is just a lie
It is fake
It is cold
It is gone
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
Higher and higher
Oh oh oh
[Verse 3] Rain
Purple rain
Falling up against the glass
My hands are made of brittle paper strips
Folded
Creased
Torn into a dozen jagged pieces
Trying to scream
But my mouth is filled with thick gray wool
Nothing stays the same for long
[Chorus] Waking up is just a lie
Waking up is just a lie
Floating where the birds don't fly
Waking up is just a lie
It is fake
It is cold
It is gone
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
Higher and higher
Oh oh oh
[Bridge] Maybe I am here
Maybe I am there
Maybe I am nowhere at all
Gravity is breaking
Gravity is shaking
Gravity is taking me away
[Chorus] Waking up is just a lie
Waking up is just a lie
Floating where the birds don't fly
Waking up is just a lie
It is fake
It is cold
It is gone
[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh
Higher and higher
Oh oh oh
[Outro] Just a lie
Just a lie
Just a lie
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Let it stay
Let it stay
Let it stay
