lyrics

The things I see are not the same
As what you see, not exactly
Every single life, distinct, creating its own reality
Billions of worlds, collapsing in
I feel the weight of everything
Draped around my dream of life, a beautiful wall of static light

And I only trust what I see
What separates love from anxiety?
Shades of the same dream

Lately I’ve noticed tremors that lie
In corners of my eyes, just out of sight
Distant warning, I don’t know what it means
I can’t stop listening to the sound
I’m either breaking out or breaking down
Cracks are forming, I don’t know what it means

Am I learning how to be bright,
Or is it a trick of the light?
Shades of the same dream

There are times when I’m convinced I’m only a burden
But I tell myself it’s just an absence of sun
So I step through the wall to the other side

I think I'm going blind

And I don’t believe my own sight,
The presence of everyone in my life
We live in shared dreams
And I’ve gone as white as the light
That falls in this place across every face
We live in shared dreams
My world collapsing, what lovely churning
Peace in the breaking
