A Dream of Home

Your big green eyes have swallowed my mind
And stolen my sight
My mind has bled and turned my captor
I'm healing faster
Can't do it alone
Can't do it alone

Behind me... I've burned up the veil...
And now... I cannot fail                     
I'm not only just smitten... 
by the words that you've written

I had a Dream
A Dream of us
A Dream of us back home
You know, we've come so far
The gears of time are grinding us together
In the clockwork skies
Spilling from our eyes

I feel the lies that keep me from you
Now they lie broken
Billions of years can't hide you from me
Never again
So far from home
Far from home

And now, I wait alone... 
Alone incarnate
Wait, for something like never... 
Will I wander forever?

I would give everything to touch your heart
I would sell all the world to pay your ransom
And the transaction...
...is underway

I want your mind... You hold my mind...
Your pretty eyes have made me homesick
Beyond the sky
You want my mind... I hold your mind...
Your pretty lies have crushed my sight
I'm not alive
