Nightmare No. 5 or 6 Lyrics by Electric President

The Violent Blue

2010

[Verse 1]
Woke up cold and the room was dark
Just light from the moon
Felt your breath on my neck and it made me homesick
I don't mind if it's all in my head
My mind was built for lies
And your laugh sounds like glass
And it cuts right through me
[Chorus]
Dreaming now, is not a one way process
Dreaming now, is not a one way process
Dreaming is not a one way pro-ah-ah—
[Bridge]
You wanted problems? You got 'em
You got enough to break down anyone
You want to prove that you're the tough kind
But no one asks to be a martyr; it just happens to you
You say we've got it wrong, that you're different
Well, call it what you want, it's same difference
You bit off more than you can chew with this
Now we're calling in the debt
No matter if it sinks you
[Pre-Chorus]
Daylight breaks and the world looks bent
Like I've got shotglass eyes
Pick me up
Fix my tie
Roll me toward the cliffside
I don't mind
If I fall this time
My knees were built for scabs
And my hands meet demands
Just when no one's asking
[Chorus]
Dreaming now, is not a one way process
Dreaming now, is not a one way process
Dreaming is not a one way pro-ah-ah—
[Outro]
We woke just before the dawn
Got dressed up among birdsong
Then crossed that eternal lawn
Our heads were pointed skyward
The sun, it warmed our backs
And we wandered
Not really knowing where it all would end
We walked 'til the sun went down
Walked straight toward that violent sound
The waves threw their weight around
And it all felt so simple
Like we knew just how to be
And we smiled
'Til waves came and dragged us out to sea
