Hibernating hibiscus
Sleeping in the dead of night
Temperature rising, cooling, tag team with the tide.
I think I want to own somebody
'Cause dreamland stole my ideas from me
My dreams no longer hit the ground running
So stay and haunt me.
Static moonlight, grasp the skies and hide.
Holding onto the atmosphere for dear life
Legislating every thought in my mind
For when I'm sick, I'm well
And when I'm well, I'm ill
Nothing ever happens
And nothing ever will
So, I'm still stuck in dreamland
I'm still stuck in dreamland.
Fixated on flashing
Situated in my weakest eye
Taking out another prescription
Just to reach those flashing lights.
The bear in the woods once told me
"Don't try it when the river's flowing
You'll regret what you end up knowing
When insomnia's growing."
Static sunlight, keep my eyes awake all night.
Holding onto the rocket ship for dear life
Stretching out every limb through space and time
And if I dream, I won't dream again
If I don't dream, they will never end
But I'm still stuck in dreamland
I'm still stuck in dreamland.
