lyrics

Your eyelids feeling heavy, and your bones about to break
You think you're in a hurry, but you're not thinking straight
You turn on the television, you're looking for someone
There’s people talking to you, you don’t know where they're from

It’s all too familiar
Yes, it’s all too familiar
You recognise his face, and you know this place don’t you?
But you just stare off into space, and you say:

Is this heaven, or reality?
Now I feel like I’ve been set free
It’s this perfect world you made for me
It makes me feel like a dream junkie
But who doesn’t?

You would kill your cousin, for money, wealth and fame
We go from place to place, everyone looks the same
Destroying make believe worlds, but that’s the price you pay
To live in broken harmony, a million miles away

From this world so beautiful
It’s a world so beautiful
You realise your fate, and you're feeling hatred, aren’t you?
So you just laugh away the pain, and you say:

Is this heaven, or reality?
Now I feel like I’ve been set free
It’s this perfect world you made for me
It makes me feel like a dream junkie
But who doesn’t?
