Back To Sleep - Chris Brown

I dream in phosphorescence Bleed through spaces See you drifting past the fog But no one told you where to go We dive through crystal waters Perfect oceans But no one told me not to breathe And now the weightlessness recedes My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I will travel far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Well, yeah, I spit blood when I wake up Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up Room feels like a meat freezer I dangle in like cold cuts Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don't trust Mirror talk, fake love But I'll take a pound of your flesh 'Fore you take a piece of my paystub White roses, black doves Godmother, rise up I need you to see me for what I have become My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we've no idea what we've got Until we lose it And no amount of love will keep it around If we don't choose it And I don't know what's got its teeth in me But I'm about to bite back in anger No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire (When we were made) (It was no accident) (You know my desire) (We were tangled up like branches in a flood) I have traveled far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden

Had a bad dream on the operating table I tried to scream, but I wasn't able They replaced my veins with cables Now I'll never be the same again I can't recharge your spirit I can see the light, but I can't get near it Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it How did we end up here? I spent a lifetime lost A generation of lettin' go And now the daylight can't break through It's a long way back to you Another two years gone I spent forever lettin' go And I don't wanna face the truth It's a long way back to you Another day, slowly fadin' to sleepless nights Lie awake, empty spaces is a wasted time Push and pull, give and take couldn't make you mine, no And I just wanna recharge your spirit I can see a light, but I can't get near it Echoes of your voice, but I can't quite hear it How did we end up here? I spent a lifetime lost A generation of lettin' go And now the daylight can't break through It's a long way back to you Another two years gone I spent forever lettin' go And I don't wanna face the truth It's a long way back to you If everythin' heals with time Then why is our flame dyin'?
