I've loved a thousand loves and I've kissed a thousand lips I've tasted every sound from a golden goblet sipped Sometimes it's hard to face the day Just close my eyes and drift away In these lands I travel deep I see clearest when I fall asleep Just cause you close your eyes Doesn't mean you see things worse Sometimes visions the illuminative curse This world isn't all it seems See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams I've been a million places and I've met a thousand friends I've sailed the oceans peaceful and I've seen the worlds end Sometimes the roses fade to gray Just close my eyes and drift away To all the worlds I have made I see clearest when I fall asleep Just cause you close your eyes Doesn't mean you see things worse Sometimes visions the illuminative curse This world isn't all it seems See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams, woah And I escape When I leave this place I'm not looking back From this prison break I've been crowned as king and I've fallen on hard times I've been noble in my deeds but committed heartless crimes For all that it's worth, imagination gave it birth These words that I sing are a piece of hope that I will bring Just cause you close your eyes Doesn't mean you see things worse Sometimes visions the Illuminative curse This world isn't all it seems See, I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams And I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams
