Asleep (Acoustic)

Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told? I know shadows follow the rules But 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 --- Asleep (Acoustic) - Sleeping At Last
