I′m not certain I'm not a ghost

Is this free will or am I doing as I′m told?

I know shadows follow the rulesBut what if tonight

By the mercy of light I could choose?

Watercolor lucid dreams

I'll paint a future

That I can redeem

For just one precious third of my life

I'm not hypnotized

By the glow of a screen or the darkness I′ve seen

With these tired eyes

I′ve seen enough for tonight

As my eyes close, my guards come down

An armistice was signed

Predator and prey on equal ground

I lose my balance at the water's edge

A Freudian slip

But I can′t remember what was said

Watercolor vivid dreams

Under lock and key

Vague silhouettes

Are all I've got left

Till I fall back asleep

An afterimage of the divine

Or just my restless mind

A broken cassette

Can′t help but forget

And fade over time

I'll press rewind

Twenty-seven thousand times

Give or take

I′ll paint a future

That I can redeem

I'll paint a future

Watercolor vivid dreams

Watercolor vivid dreams

Watercolor vivid dreams

I'll paint a future

Watercolor vivid dreams

I′ll paint a future

I′ll paint a future
