In the dark, and right on the middle mark
Just in the tear of everything that rides below the surface
In the watch from a distant seventeen
Surely other's dreams of being golden and on top
It's not, you should paint it in my head
There's so much much there instead of all the colors that I saw
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh, everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
But I want to dream
I want to dream
Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Or the prettiest of lights
That hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at nig
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh, everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
But I want to dream
I want to dream
Leave me to dream
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing, everything is actually a mess
But now I leaving
Unless we're only dreaming, everything is actually a mess
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh, everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
But I want to dream
I want to dream
Leave me to dream
