Reality Dream Lyrics - Pure Adulterated Joy - Morning Parade

Wound so tightly 

I'm the window sill 

Bending backwards 

And then backwards again 

Chasing tails 

Round and round until 

The party's over 

And we've emptied out the well 

We stop believing 

The lies we tell ourselves 

And no more building 

Prisons in our heads 

So no more Sunday 

No lottery of fame 

No more fake smiling 

And no more flat champagne 

And no more thinking 

I won a race I wish I lost 

Bound by the wrists 

We tell ourselves we'll get over this 

Head in the sand 

Oh, we were busy making plans 

So no more MTV 

or magazines 

I start living my own 

Reality dreams 

And I wanna see it, 

I wanna be it, 

I wanna taste it all 

Bound by the wrists 

We tell ourselves we'll get over this 

Head in the sand 

Oh, we were busy making plans 

Bound by the wrists 

We tell ourselves we'll get over this 

Head in the sand 

Oh, we were busy making plans 

'Cause all we want is 

To give our hearts to someone else 

Love that is everlasting 

The kind of love Hollywood sells 

And the happy ending 

Is all we really ask 

Don't spend your life pretending 

Your happy end already passed.
