Why’re you looking lost
When you’re standing right beside me
You were turning off
Open up your eyes you’re sleeping
And you’re dreaming
You’re dreaming
And you’re dreaming
Never mind the time
I’m up all night with the Century Ghosts
They don’t have a mind
They would never think of leaving
And we’re dreaming
We’re dreaming
And we’re dreaming
All these scenes of shattered glass
All your systems in collapse
On the screen they move so fast it’s just like life

Metal in my blood
Dancing around to the magnets
What about our love
So hard to start in a violent age
And I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna live in this place anymore
Everybody cries
Everybody needs some comfort
From dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming
I want to change my whole life
And forever in this place
Is just a day
Just a day
All these scenes of shattered glass
All your systems in collapse
On the screen they move so fast it’s just like life
But we’re dreaming
Dreaming
Another scene more shattered glass
Every system in collapse
A billion screens they move so fast but that’s not life
You’re dreaming
Dreaming
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
It’s in the blood
