One More Sleep

from In the Garden of Panopticon by BAAN

lyrics

I tried to get to sleep again, to find the dream I had forgotten
If I was a gambling man, I’d bet my life, I’d put the lot on
This being real, this whole crazy roller coaster ride
I got people on my side
Are they just part of the illusion?
Seems like energy is a fusion
Of the light and the heat inside your mind
Everyone is looking but who ever finds
The quantum theory?
Blind eyed and bleary
We get so weary from the fight

There’s nothing really out there but for light
And sound and touch, taste and smell
It’s all in your head, be it heaven be it hell
It’s just as well that’s all there is
You get to imagine what the dreaming really means
Then you get to go to sleep
Or you get to wake up
Or nothing is what it seems
We are in so deep
Something needs a shake up

Is this the end you thought you’d get
Even though it hasn’t ended yet?
You looked for truth, found something better
A bit like hope, a bit like faith
The girl on the train, they’re never gonna get her
She’s getting higher, she’s out of her face
And your many minds are out of place
No matter how many names you chase
You will not catch the falling sun
The song is over before it’s begun
Before it’s begun
