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 the 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
