Red Chair Lyrics - Those Who Dream

Please help me open up this drain 

My mind needs emptying again 

Another load under the road 

Lights out, this room's a prison cell 

Where a lonesome inmate begs for hell 

Lost screams and voices keep him from sleeping, no more dreaming 

Though it's dark I see, this red chair next to me 

And if the truth be said 

I'd rather paint this bed in red 

Than to stay awake 

Knowing that this chair is colourless 

Black in the dark 

I'll close my eyes so life seems colourful again 

We've been waiting all night 

Our bodies want to let go 

Our dreams hide away, but tonight they might as well show 

They're taking me back; I'm taking what's mine 

I'll scream to the night to say I'm still fine 

Drown the sky 

We've got eight hours to hide ourselves 

So give it all you've got 

My head is out of control while my body stays sane 

But I'm starting to feel my body taking orders from my brain 

It's acting once, now twice, but there's nothing I can do 

Because you're basically dead when your head defines you 

I lay at night, painting the ceiling with my eyes and hear the world out the window; happy people in disguise 

Spies, out to get me, so I hide inside my bed 

I can't let anybody know my mind wants me dead 

I could write a book about my thoughts and how they tell me what to do 

But all the readers got sad 

It's just my personal point of view 

And now the worlds blaming the sad, sad author who wrote, "being human is the worst kind of torture" 

Though it's dark I see, this red chair next to me 

And if the truth be said 

I'd rather paint this bed in red 

Than to stay awake 

Knowing that this chair is in my home 

My friend, I've known 

If there are ghosts please speak so I don't feel alone 

We've been waiting all night 

Our bodies want to let go 

Our dreams hide away, but tonight they might as well show 

They're taking me back; I'm taking what's mine 

I'll scream to the night to say I'm still fine 

Drown the sky 

We've got eight hours to hide ourselves 

Now I'm swallowing all I can 

Infect the silence with my own hands 

Vaccinate it with a disease 

Or my own sickness so I'm at ease 

We've been waiting all night 

Our bodies want to let go 

Our dreams hide away, but tonight they might as well show 

They're taking me back; I'm taking what's mine 

I'll scream to the night to say I'm still fine 

Drown the sky 

We've got eight hours to hide ourselves
