Lyrics
Check your brights
Lose your faith
Find your strength
Make your escape
Discover what's real
In the big city night
Is it a dream?
Is it what it seems?
Is it a dream?
Is it what it seems?
Wake up to the heckles of a kidnapper
Behind his screen, life-long delusions
He doesn't even know what they mean
Wake up to the heckles of a kidnapper
Behind his screen, life-long delusions
He doesn't even know what they mean
Back and forth he goes
Screaming undertow
All he lost
Summer's selfish dreams
Bursting at the seams
Not the first
Back and forth he goes
Screaming undertow
All he lost
Summer's selfish dreams
Bursting at the seams
Not the first
