once upon a midnight dreamer 
    there was a way to pencil 
    streamers in the wind 
        across the sheet 
        that veils your face 
        from clouds of misery 
    and someone far from destiny said, "hey"
now, there�s another loaded question 
  n the stars that shine behind your tears 
    may only wonder of the years 
      that drain away to yesterday 
        man, dream of mirror futures here 

i can�t believe these freaked out people 
    n now there�s gonna be a war 
    with eighteen different sides
        do i even wanna know 
        what kinda planet i�m stranded on 
            where the only ones to survive
            are those who hide?
and everyone�s a complex legend 
  n the sun surrounds the blinding sky 
    that folds our dreams back into lies 
      it�s burning in everybody�s eyes 
        n futures dream of paradise
