Dreaming Awake

I threw my bed out in the front yard 'Cause I won't need it anymore My eyes have packed their bags, but I don't care It's somehow better than before So over counting sheep I refuse to go to sleep I write stories in my dreams So why should I just let them be? No one understands my head Won't listen to what I said They tell me to go to bed But I can't leave my dreams for dead My mind speaks in Once upon a time I refuse to walk the line I'm the one who wonders why protagonize My own storyline I don't need a lullaby Cause I dream awake at night First light of dawn peeks through my window But I hear music in the rain Finding my freedom in an old place I wonder where mind will take me today not a dark and stormy night Cause I turned on all my lights Guess it's a reasonable price I refuse to waste my time When the darkness tries to win Lock the door, don't let it in I let my head start to spin Baby, let the games begin My mind speaks in Once upon a time I refuse to walk the line I'm the one who wonders why protagonize My own storyline I don't need a lullaby Cause I dream awake at night Go to sleep Go to sleep Oh Go to sleep Go to sleep No Go to sleep Go to sleep Oh Go to sleep Go to sleep I don't want to go to sleep My mind speaks in Once upon a time I refuse to walk the line I'm the one who wonders why protagonize My own storyline I don't need a lullaby Cause I dream awake at night I don't need a lullaby Cause I dream awake at night
