about

Our second single "Melatonin Dreams" from our upcoming album, "Little Did We Know."

lyrics

I see you sleeping.
Your thoughts stream from your deepest mind,
and you're losing touch with reality and time.
Everything that you see in this moment
is just a ghost, a breath, a lie.
And everything that you think you're feeling
you'll forget through loss and life.

Why do you only come to me when I dream at night?
Sleep deprived, nothing’s right,
I can’t help but to feel this way.
You've never known before,
you've never known before.
Every move, wrong choices,
mistakes, poor choice of words,
can I just say what I wanted to say?
You'll never know again,
you'll never know again.

The words won't come (close your eyes),
not like before (and just sleep).
It's just a dream. It's just a dream.
Tell yourself it's just a dream.
The words won't come (close your eyes),
not unlike before (God, just sleep).
It's just a dream. It's just a dream.
Tell yourself it's just a dream.

Guard the sleeper; may his dreams be sound.
A lifespan in a single moment,
he plays it back through his closed eyes.
Guard the sleeper; may his dreams be sound.
He'll spend his life chasing after this moment
and never play it back through opened eyes.

Take the pills and now you are down.
A deep sleep and a dream that will flood all our high hopes.
Don’t wake up things won’t be the same!
The fact that this thing will never be a reality...

I can't sleep; I won't dream.
These closed eyes play a haunted scene.
And when I wake up
I won't recall
how to tell the things
that I might have seen.

The words won't come (close your eyes),
not like before (and just sleep).
It's just a dream. It's just a dream.
Tell yourself it's just a dream.
The words won't come (close your eyes),
not unlike before (God, just sleep).
It's just a dream. It's just a dream.
Tell yourself it's just a dream.

Guard the sleeper; may his dreams be sound.
A lifespan in a single moment,
he plays it back through his closed eyes.
Guard the sleeper; may his dreams be sound.
He'll spend his life chasing after this moment
and never play it back through opened eyes.

Dream! Close your eyes and dream!
Why do you do this to us?!
Close your eyes and dream!
Just promise you’ll wake up!
