Only Dreaming

You cannot reload your pistol or shuffle the deck And that ain't St. Christopher around your neck If you were already thinking the game is up Well it's only just started and it's gonna get rough Rough like the waves pounding you Rough like the wolves surrounding you Though madness will strike in the dead of the night Mother nature will kill you in broad daylight You convince yourself you don't believe it You're only dreaming, you're only dreaming So pinch yourself and start believing Cuz you ain't dreaming now Flapping like birds stuck in butterfly nets Trying to fly free before the sun sets So lost, you don't even know where to begin And you're watching the needle starting to spin Spinning through all of it's endless degrees Demagnetised with the greatest of ease Should the magnet start to pull Will the half empty bottle appear half full? You convince yourself you don't believe it You're only dreaming, you're only dreaming So pinch yourself and start believing Cuz you ain't dreaming now If life is just a tinderbox Then I need a spark on some new flint rocks But if our days are all numbered and our fortunes are set Then this is as good as it's going to get So convince yourself the odds are even You're only dreaming, you're only dreaming Pinch yourself and start believing You ain't dreaming now
