lyrics

The sleeping world is an upside-down mirror image
Like the reflection of your face in a soap bubble
The waking world is a confounded color scheme
So let's explore these hidden worlds with our body doubles

You'll hear the voices calling out from underneath the rubble
These flowing threads of light, they call to us
Escaping the daylight as we sink deeper underwater
It's getting colder and warmer at the same time

Yellow smoke fills a glass chamber over water
Enters the lungs of the next unsuspecting victim
He sits calmly waiting in anticipation
Of a new view, 'cos he's through with the old one

I fell through the different realms like translucent pages
The world was illusory just as I left it
My future was laid out before me like a burning star fire
Getting brighter and dimmer at the same time

The sleeping world is an upside-down mirror image

If it feels real, what more do you need from it?
If it feels real, could you really see through it?

I can still smell the cold air from back then
I can still feel the grass on the back of my head
That night we left our lives behind
And we knew we would always live above it all

And we knew we'd live above it always

The sleeping world is an upside-down mirror image
