7. She Sees Angels When She Dreams

Well she says she sees angels when she dreams / Did you know they’re different than you’d think? / And she’s so scared she fell out of the habit of sleep / Hasn’t been inside that bed for weeks

It’s the fear it runs the make-up down her cheeks / You can hear it in her voice when she speaks

She says, “What if the things that I see when I dream / Are more real than the life that my eyes have seen / Would my world be changed? / Could my mind still rearrange? / Would my heart sustain the notion / That the truth it is an ocean / That my soul has never sailed on before / And would I build myself a boat to go explore?”

She’s got a burden on her back / No one prepared her for attack / And all the voices in her head keep telling her to turn back / It’s a mess of fiction over fact

And it’s never what you have – it’s always what you lack / Yeah a tempting tongue just tends to work like that

*Chorus*

I know the unknown may be scary / It’s a mystery till the end / But the known world has never been your friend / No the known world has never been your friend . . .

She saw heaven in a dream / Did you know it’s different than you’d think / She said her heart found room – room enough to sing / And a song that’s bigger than the pain / And the joy it ran the make-up down her cheeks / She said “It’s enough to make this heart believe.”

And I can see her now / She’s out sailing on that sea / No I’ve never seen her look so free / No I’ve never seen her look so free / No I’ve never seen her look so free . . .
