sparrow delgado - sleep walking orchestra lyrics

[verse 1]
light, from an open window, flowing in it hits the floor
a phantom friend, the first one that i ever made
suddenly, it took my hand, led me down into a land
far away from my own everyday reality
yet, overlap with my world, magical things can unfurl
sometimes you find it in the places you know the most
is it magic or a lie? a devil in disguise?
could it be that i’m entrapped in dreams and can’t let go?

[pre+chorus]
from its cage, a nightingale cried out a song of sorrow
its verse, you can’t reverse the things that you lost today, tomorrow

[chorus]
why should i move on? just what is my heart seeking?
a rhythmic thrum, pounding drum, constantly beating
our breathing signs of lifе, exhaled without a feeling
more timеs than i could count, too easily releasing
listen for the sound of the key that’s winding
that whispers the names of the things that drive me
unbidden, my lifeblood flows, always circulating
and tangles me up in the threads of my fate awaiting

[verse 2]
trapped between the night and day,never can seem to escape
paralysis of the choices offered unto me
makes no difference what i say, cannot give enough to sway
the fickle gods who taunt with hopes of what could never be
is it truly what i desire, or just a vision in fire?
crackling and fading away in an unending sleep
is it time to walk away? still no choice except to stay
grips of fantasy yet pull me to the drowning deep
[pre+chorus]
if you truly mean to bring me to the end of the road
let us sing until the dawn, a song of life and let the wind blow

[chorus]
the end of a life never stops the stars’ turning
tomorrow turns today to the past, time always churning
a cycle, cruel yet perfect, new life always burning
stumbling from the rubble, and ant, somewhere, emerging
my heartbeat still echoes and guides me onward
despite it, my mind still doubts the the course
yet my footsteps lead on still, always circulating
believing the road ahead will begin abating

[instrumental bridge]
[chorus]
why should i move on? just what is my heart seeking?
a rhythmic thrum, pounding drum, constantly beating
without a lesson learned, new worlds expelled like breathing
more times than i could count, too easily releasing
listen for the sound of the key that’s winding
that whispers the names of the things that drive me
unbidden, my lifeblood flows, always circulating
untangling threads of my fate awaiting
