Waking World

Still breaking through
Still breaking, breaking through this doom
The dogs of triumph steal again
Slow motion highway; dreams of dust
Hades and hearts on the burning road
So it goes, numero dos

Still breaking through
Still breaking, breaking through this doom
Reckless days of wonder
Breaking the fall with trampoline feet
Workday done, stand clear of the closing doors
Faces on the street are weary of war

Still breaking through
Still breaking, breaking through this doom
Caught up in real time
Shaken and stirred inside the waking world
Fake fires of justice on a wishing well
Face down in the dirt
How far the dream fell

I don't understand it, I don't understand it, I don't understand it
I don't understand it, I don't understand it, I don't understand it
I don't understand it, I don't understand it, I don't understand it

Sweet escape, that's a tranquilizer
Sweet escape, every direction
Sweet escape, now a choice is taken
Sweet escape, the holy meditation

I don't understand it, I don't understand it, I don't understand it
