Don't wake this child of lies
He sleeps here in me
Now I'm just his dream
He sees things with my eyes
Things he knows that can't be
Floating in my mindstream
He's been betrayed by truth
Led astray by answers
Bruised by all that's real
So sleep my sorrowed youth
While I stand guard here
Afraid you'll never heal
I wouldn't mind if he was lost
He wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
Strike me blind and leave me be
You are me
I wouldn't mind if he was lost
He wouldn't mind if I was free
I wouldn't mind to take the cost
Strike me blind and leave me be
You are me
Don't wake this child of lies
He sleeps here in me
Now I'm just his dream
