Before We Can Dream

In the quiet moments Where distractions don’t distract As the silence foments And we decide to react No raindrop in the flood feels responsible For the destruction that ensues But the ruins are age old Don’t treat them like they’re something new Before we can dream We need a place to lay our heads down Hard as it seems We’re still not the same when it comes ‘round And there’s a luxury That we don’t fully get In being able to turn off The television set And there’s life outside The four walls of this box And we can change the doors But we gotta change the locks Before we can dream We need a place to lay our heads down Hard as it seems We’re still not the same when it comes ‘round Before we can dream We need a place to lay our heads down Hard as it seems We’re still not the same when it comes ‘round Torn apart at the seam And watch it all come down, down Like a leaf in a stream There’s no turning around now 'Til rolling is the head that wears the crown
