lyrics

She's down and deep caught kissing in a dream
Where nothing isn't never not what it doesn't seem
She's being pulled down by the undertow
Of a life composed, she floats upstream

And when the dreaming stops, she don't wanna let go
Cuz the real her is someone she don't wanna know
And the real world already sold her out
All she has left is the afterglow

And she don't think this is the end-all and be-all
The music is better in her mind
She can't see through her hindsights & shortfalls
To see what it is that she left behind

She's a visionary and the world is her play
But the beautiful dreams don't make the pain go away
And when she awakes, the drugs don't fill the void
Her hindsights & shortfalls bring her back to today

Yeah her hindsights & shortfalls bring her back to today
Her shortfalls remain, they don't ever go away
Her dreams are too short and they don't fill the void
She reaches out for them anyway

Yet she don't think this is the end-all and be-all
The music is better in her mind
She can't see through her hindsights & shortfalls
To see what it is that she left behind
