I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clocks screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Of alarm clocks screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

A true artist! I am so like this! There would be times (especially after a bad break-up) where I would just sleep on my couch all day dreaming of a better place.
To me life is so torturous at times. And ironically like this song the monsters in fairy tales are existent in this world, while my little place inside my heart is so safe and full of love.
There is another song I'd like to quote as a part of this interpretation. It's called Sleep from the Conjure One CD. It goes:
"Without sleep there are no dreams Withour dreams we fall apart at the seams"
I seriously love to dream. I love to be in my own world where reality can't come and whisk away your loved ones with its deathly grip, where a person cannot be stand wrongly accused and suffer for it, where supposed lovers cannot turn their back on you when you've needed them the most, when you've been there for them, and of course, where hate and lies does not coat this world in bitter darkness.
