We Live in a Strange World

I am coasting on nice dreams
Lonely, folding on each other
And waiting for great things
But all they do is stop
To grace me with cold sleep
If I breathe in, I feel another
Erase me to pace me and hold on to the drop

Sunken in, now we live in a strange world
Sunken in, now we live in a strange world
You let the bastards grind you down
Collapse a vein so you don't drown
Sunken in, now we live in a strange world

I was straight seamed and naïve
Unturned stones and plastic diamonds
That made me heavy
I'm rolling to a stop
If greatness leaves me alone I know I won't recover
Erase me, pace me
I'm waiting for the drop

Sunken in, now we live in a strange world
Sunken in, now we live in a strange world
You let the bastards grind you down
Collapse a vein so you don't drown
Sunken in, now we live in a strange world

Circle me in cerulean
Pressure me in the counterfeit
Shelter me in complacency
The ghost of me will finally sleep in the blue

Sunken in, now we live in a stranger world
Sunken in, now we live in a stranger world
You let the bastards grind you down
Collapse a vein so you don't drown
Sunken in, now we live in a stranger world
