[Intro] Outside the dream There may be rain Outside the dream There may be pain [Verse] I found the door behind the sunrise Where the light forgot to shine A silver frame without a handle A heartbeat under mine The garden whispered don’t leave now You have everything you need No hunger and no heartbreak No graves beneath the trees [Pre-Chorus] But I have heard my real name I have tasted real tears I have seen the ghosts waiting After all these sleeping years [Chorus] Outside the dream The world may break me open Outside the dream The sky may not be clean But I would rather bleed with meaning Than live forever numb and sweet I am standing at the doorway Outside the dream [Verse] A child ran up beside me With flowers made of light She said the dark is dangerous Please stay inside the white I almost turned to hold her I almost chose the lie Then I saw her flicker softly Like a program saying goodbye [Pre-Chorus] But I have heard my real name I have tasted real tears I have seen the ghosts waiting After all these sleeping years [Chorus] Outside the dream The world may break me open Outside the dream The sky may not be clean But I would rather bleed with meaning Than live forever numb and sweet I am standing at the doorway Outside the dream [Instrumental] Low light breathing Systems fail Real wind calling Through the veil [Bridge] What if I wake alone there What if no one waits What if truth is only sorrow Opening its gates [Breakdown] Then a hand pressed through the darkness Not made of code or flame And from beyond the doorway Someone spoke my name [Build-up] The garden started fading The choir lost its tone I stepped into the silence More afraid than I had known [Chorus] Outside the dream The world may break me open Outside the dream The sky may not be clean But I would rather bleed with meaning Than live forever numb and sweet I am standing at the doorway Outside the dream [Chorus] Outside the dream I carry every fracture Outside the dream I carry who I’ve been If love is real, it hurts me If life is real, it ends I am walking through the doorway Outside the dream [Outro] Outside the dream There may be rain Outside the dream Call me again
