Torn From the Pages of My Heart
Tipsy
There's a rain in my sunshine
Taste as sweet, as rich
as blood-colored wine
Sprinkling on thoughts that yawn awake
From a restful sleep they break
Sprouting sprites in my head
But I can't get lost, I can't regret...
Honey, stop pouring... else I'm dead!
Oh hear me scream... and here I swim
Through a sea of jesters and kings
Trying to beat the midnight clock rings
I screech to a stop, keeping my guard up
But has my speed been enough?
Have I reached the exit stairs,
Steered clear of all the flares?
Through the what-ifs, and truth-and-dares
If I've left a shoe, I'm not aware
I just want to get myself out there
Without catching a glare
Crawl back to a quiet hole
In my slumber
Has this battle been won?
Are the illusions gone?
I reach out for the morning surprise
For caffeine to my sleepy eyes
It seems the little secret's still in a cage
Hanging by a thread, whispering your name
Smiling at my mad creation
From a clumsy dream situation
Or has it been mentioned...
This wild, crazy thing for you
That from the back of my mind
I almost let through...
Taste as sweet, as rich
as blood-colored wine
Sprinkling on thoughts that yawn awake
From a restful sleep they break
Sprouting sprites in my head
But I can't get lost, I can't regret...
Honey, stop pouring... else I'm dead!
Oh hear me scream... and here I swim
Through a sea of jesters and kings
Trying to beat the midnight clock rings
I screech to a stop, keeping my guard up
But has my speed been enough?
Have I reached the exit stairs,
Steered clear of all the flares?
Through the what-ifs, and truth-and-dares
If I've left a shoe, I'm not aware
I just want to get myself out there
Without catching a glare
Crawl back to a quiet hole
In my slumber
Has this battle been won?
Are the illusions gone?
I reach out for the morning surprise
For caffeine to my sleepy eyes
It seems the little secret's still in a cage
Hanging by a thread, whispering your name
Smiling at my mad creation
From a clumsy dream situation
Or has it been mentioned...
This wild, crazy thing for you
