lyrics

Oh, the desert wallows and dreams of the sea
And the sea sinks and ponders,
Why should the desert be drier than me
And as I do just the same and lose my grip around the truth
Well my pedestal, my seat, does collapse at my feet
And I find myself back on my knees

Oh, the daylight wallows and dreams of the night
And the night sinks and ponders,
Why can't the day and I be equally as bright
And as I do just the same and lose my grip around the truth
Well my pedestal, my seat, does collapse at my feet
And I find myself back on my knees

Well I do believe that I've been deceived
By a separate world inside my head
A set of glasses tinted red
And I do believe that I need reprieve
'Cause all this light that I do see, it'll never share it with me

Oh, December wallows and dreams of July
And July sinks and ponders,
Why should December be colder than I
And as I do just the same and lose my grip around the truth
Well my pedestal, my seat, does collapse at my feet
And I find myself back on my knees

Well I do believe that I've been deceived
By a separate world inside my head
A set of glasses tinted red
And I do believe that I need reprieve
'Cause all this light that I do see, it'll never share it with me, oh
'Cause all this light that I do see, it'll never share it, share it with me
