Testi Asleep - Sleeping At Last

Asleep

I’m not certain I’m not a ghost\nIs this free will or am I doing as I’m told?\nI know shadows follow the rules\nBut what if tonight\nBy the mercy of light\nI could choose?\nWatercolor lucid dreams\nI’ll paint a future\nThat I can redeem\nFor just one precious third of my life\nI’m not hypnotized\nBy the glow of a screen\nOr the darkness I’ve seen\nWith these tired eyes\nI’ve seen enough for tonight\nAs my eyes close, my guards come down\nAn armistice was signed\nPredator and prey on equal ground\nI lose my balance at the water’s edge\nA Freudian slip\nBut I can’t remember what was said\nWatercolor vivid dreams\nUnder lock and key\nVague silhouettes\nAre all I’ve got left\nTill I fall back asleep\nAn afterimage of the divine\nOr just my restless mind\nA broken cassette\nCan’t help but forget\nAnd fade over time\nI’ll press rewind\nTwenty-seven thousand times\nGive or take\nI’ll paint a future\nThat I can redeem\nI’ll paint a future\nWatercolor vivid dreams\nWatercolor vivid dreams\nWatercolor vivid dreams\nI’ll paint a future\nWatercolor vivid dreams\nI’ll paint a future\nI’ll paint a future
