lyrics

Rise at night, I slept all day
chasing words that stay locked away
Notebook open stares at me
crumpled lines broken fantasy
I close my eyes and I begin to see

A house of songbirds and I live there
waiting on my feathered chair
you soar above on wings of stone
I fly to you and I leave my home

I'm at war with the ordinary
decorate an army of fairies
I'll be down under shimmering water
Until I awake

And I lie awake and feel my self land
on these sheets so soaked in myself
these dreams they leave me alone
I can't even follow them home

You appear in the naked glow
a thousand suns and the heat below
we ride lizards along the ridge
of a humpback whale diving down again
and we open our eyes and we live it

We're at war with the ordinary
we decorate an army of fairies
follow me down to the shimmering water
until I awake

and these dreams leave me alone
