I didn’t want it to end
But the world was burning
I held out my hand
my grip was slipping
Swallowed by the earth
The light is fading
Push it down, bury it deep
And throw it away
Half dead, with one foot in the grave

I am only dreaming
But I feel the light
Slip beneath the veil
Open up my eyes to see
The sky is turning
The sky is turning red

I didn’t want it to die
The dream was wasted
I didn’t know it could bleed
The skin it blistered
So move the dirt aside
With weathered fingers
And push it down, bury it deep
And throw it away
Half dead, with one foot in the grave

I am only dreaming
But I feel the light
Slip beneath the veil
Open my eyes to see
The sky is turning red

I am only dreaming
I am only dreaming

I am only dreaming
But I feel the light
Slip beneath the veil
Open my eyes to see
The sky is turning
The sky is turning red

Am I only dreaming?
Push it down, bury it deep
Throw it away
Am I only dreaming?
Half dead with one foot in the grave




Behind the Song:
'Grave' is a premonition of a future of destruction, personal loss, and fear of death.
