I wake early to hear
A destructive fist at my door
And it seems quite clear
I’m not welcome anymore
She tried to keep my mind at ease
But this weed-smoked, lust-soaked room
Can’t hold on to me anymore
Now I know
Yeah I know
When the late night cries
And the diamonds bleed
And the tired old way
you always say that she still misses me
She could never believe
that she could be free
She could never understand
How much this dream meant to me
So I know
Time it comes and goes
This time I won’t let it go
Now the man tells me
Just how happy I could be
If I turn my eyes and ignore the lies
That these other people believe
But I can no longer hear
And I can no longer fear
Cause the dreams they give you
They will only end every night in tears
And I know
Time it comes and goes
This time I won’t let it go
They say as time it fades
Dreams they waste away
But if you don’t build them
They will melt into the clay
But if you made them
And them your pain has shaped them
You will work the stone
To make these dreams your dreams alone
And when you see me as the daylight shines
My face tells you I’ve been up all night
Cause though the man keeps hounding me
I know I cannot give up the fight
I must try to read
I must lie to believe
I must hammer these words
Into tree-pressed sheets
Just to tell myself that I can always dream
Cause I know
Time it comes and goes
This time I won’t let it go
