lyrics
In a dream last night
You were John and I was Paul
And I wept for your untimely death
And wandered through
The rooms of our old haunts
And laid my hands on what we left
I felt my guilty soul
Move within my chest
Searching for some kind of proof
But in the end we both knew
When all is said and done
There’s only one simple truth
That we can make it out of here alive
But we’ll have to fight
Or be sacrificed
But no one makes it out of her alive
Without their demons close behind
I woke paralyzed
With a shadow in the room
Inching nearer to side where you sleep
I couldn’t catch my breath
And couldn’t bear to see it’s face
So I prayed to drift back into the dream
But I felt its touch
And felt it breathing on our necks
And its hands pressed over our mouths
And as I tried to scream
I saw you peaceful at my side
And all at once I had no doubt
You were John and I was Paul
And I wept for your untimely death
And wandered through
The rooms of our old haunts
And laid my hands on what we left
I felt my guilty soul
Move within my chest
Searching for some kind of proof
But in the end we both knew
When all is said and done
There’s only one simple truth
That we can make it out of here alive
But we’ll have to fight
Or be sacrificed
But no one makes it out of her alive
Without their demons close behind
I woke paralyzed
With a shadow in the room
Inching nearer to side where you sleep
I couldn’t catch my breath
And couldn’t bear to see it’s face
So I prayed to drift back into the dream
But I felt its touch
And felt it breathing on our necks
And its hands pressed over our mouths
And as I tried to scream
I saw you peaceful at my side
And all at once I had no doubt
