if sleeping is dreaming and dreaming is you
I loved her…
and I love her still,
but my hunger'll never fill
I've heard a man can go three weeks without food;
so I never worry
And, to tell you the truth,
I've never truly starved
I'm optimistic…
but in my hands
there's an empty cup I'm trying to drink from
And I'd be lying to say that it's partially full,
but I'll try…
And plus, I've heard a man can go three days without liquid of any kind
But when I tried to lie,
all that I've said were words of you
Confessing my love's not what I wanted,
but it's all that I'm able to do
Closing my mouth
and holding my breath
because I can't go a minute…
without speaking of you
You know I've heard a man can go three minutes without breathing
Well, I hope that's somewhat true
But I'm tired and scared…
to dream anymore-
to dream anymore of these damn untruths
I'm lying alive. While lying, I lie
just lying here thinking of you
As no one really knows how many days without sleep
a person can really do
But I hope I never sleep
ever again…
if sleeping is dreaming and dreaming is you…
