Traummaschine

somewhere life retired
 to a creeping company of bitter thieves
 a lucid dream empire
 turns a blinding hand that follows into sleep
 i live the lie awake
 when everything is fake
 it's only inside dreams i keep it real
 when all the world is mine
 and everything divine
 it's only inside dreams life has appeal
 daylight can devour
 all that's keeping down distorted memories
 a seed inside a flower
 like a blinding hold on conscious sympathy
 i live the lie awake
 when everything is fake
 it's only inside dreams i keep it real
 when all the world is mine
 and everything divine
 it's only inside dreams life has appeal
 radial bed afire
 world collapsing on a broken melody
 daylight in a flower
 like a blinding hold on old chemistry
 winter springs a shower
