Book of shallows lyrics

What if I would script a dream?

And if I'd let you in?

I'd be your door out of a stark truth...

Leave a stark reality

An arrant giveness

I'd make you fall to be there for you

Let Morpheus commit his spark

To a stray soul wandering

Errant in the dark

Chase your dream!

If you don't mind don't be astounded

By the things they make you do

For amusement's sake

Chase your dream!

When all comes breaking down around it

What a day for a pastel dream

That's coming to life...

Beautiful in colour

United in their creed

Reasonable people dreaming ordinary dreams

Rise above confusion

And leverage the weak

Dive into the shuffle

And then tap into the freak show

And Morpheus commits his spark

To a plain soul wandering, errant in the dark

Chase your dream!

If you don't mind don't be astounded

By the things they make you do

For amusement's sake

Chase your dream!

When all comes breaking down around it

What a day for a pastel dream

That's coming to life...

May it charm the living

May it ease misgiving

Intoxicating, dazing

Rapture of the shallow

Dazed and captured

Say you wanna be now

Sneak into their dream now

Suck up to their love

You're the master of their freakshow

Give into temptation

Seek and bring salvation

Mine now, Suburbia!

Tomorrow it's the nation

Wait for a savior

Rising from the tranquil sea

The book of shallows

Bringing forth a common dream

Going with the grain

Numb the pain

We are common sense

Knock them down a peg

Make them beg for deliverance

Rapture of the deep, they believe

Take a deep bow

Give them what they need now

Mingle with the creep show

Going with the grain

Numb the pain

We are common sense

Knock them down a peg

Make them beg for deliverance

Rapture of the deep, they believe

Take a deep bow

Give them what they need now

Mingle with the creep show

Wait for a savior

Rising from the tranquil sea

The book of shallows

Bringing forth a common dream

Let Morpheus commit his spark

To a stray soul wandering in the dark

Chase your dream!

If you don't mind don't be astounded

By the things they make you do

For amusement's sake

Chase your dream

When all comes breaking down around it

What a day for a pastel dream

That's goin' to plan

Chase your dream!

If you don't mind don't be astounded

By the things they make you do

For amusement's sake

Chase your dream

When all comes breaking down around it

What a day for a pastel dream

That's goin' to plan

What a day for a pastel dream

That's goin' to plan
