I lie inside my mind resurrecting the past
I let the time slip by and watch my life collapse
Is there no beauty without the flaws?
Is there no happiness inside of what I’ve lost?
I watch the colors around me move from left to right
I sink inside myself then float on through the night
I ask the stars in all their wisdom they will know
Which way my thoughts take me on this river down I float
Tell me now. Are you happy now? I dunno.I woke up lying on a castle shore.
The queen took me aside and she locked the bedroom door
The knights came searching and they found me in my sleep
I am no criminal. Let me go in peace.
Tell me now. Are you happy now?
Tell me know. Well, are you happy now? I dunno.
And I dunno. No, I dunno. No, I dunno. Ya know, I dunno.
I woke up lying in a castle in the sky.
I woke from my dreams and I start to wonder why.
I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.
Yeah, I don’t know. No, I don’t know.That I don’t know. I don’t know.
To save my soul, yeah.
