A World of My Own

They tell me we’re livin’
In true paradise
And what we’ve been given
Is greater than gold and worth any price

While you were dreaming
Of angels in flight
The angels were screaming
From beating their wings too close to the light

Meanwhile you live in a lie
Meanwhile I leave it alone
Meanwhile another dream dies
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home
I live in a world of my own

You say that the stranger
Asleep in your bed
Knows nothing of danger
Knows nothing of wars
It’s all in your head

If you believe in
The battles you won
Then why are you leavin’
With so many things left to be done?

Meanwhile you live in a lie
Meanwhile I leave it alone
Meanwhile another dream dies
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home
I live in a world of my own

All that reaches me
Is all that teaches me
That pain and love are just the same

Where are we going?
When will we arrive?
You tell me we’re growing
With each little death the words will survive

Now somewhere in heaven
The angels sleep tight
But this isn’t heaven
And nothing you say can make it alright

Meanwhile you live in a lie
Meanwhile I leave it alone
Meanwhile another dream dies
Meanwhile I try to avoid the unknown
Meanwhile I only believe what is known
Meanwhile my heart will be turning to stone
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home
I live in a world of my own
