Once I had a dream that I was standing in Osaka
There was a geisha and a refugee
And deep down in her pocket was a tarnished silver locket
And a picture frame that had always been empty

She takes that refugee to town and keeps her eyes down on the ground
As if she's waiting for the earth to open up
And pull the geisha and that man into the cauldrons of Japan
Beneath the streets that only serve to keep the gravity at bay She talks, I sleepwalk And I did not hear a thing

Once I had this dream there were two starcrossed teenage lovers
Trying to keep their secret safe from everyone
Because if their parents ever learned this, they would slash and they would burn this
And everything they know would be undone

So they hid beneath the bleachers, out of view from all the teachers
As the marching band played Hail to the Team
It was the last game of the season, they were shaking, they were freezing
There was nothing but their bodies in between She talks, I sleepwalk And I did not hear a thing

She's wide awake, so why am I asleep?
She's wide awake, so why am I asleep?

Once I had this dream that I could see inside your mind
And all the mysteries unraveled like a thread
Once I had this dream that I could see inside my own mind
Past denial and the walls inside my head

And it all was making sense as I let go of my defenses
And I saw the world for what it really was
And I opened up my eyes to see the end of the disguise
But I went blind before I even saw a thing She talks, I sleepwalk And I did not hear a thing She talks, I sleepwalk And I did not hear a thing

I loved this song so much that I had to use this as my theme song for my webseries. When the final cut is finished I will give you the credit that you asked on the website I found the song on. Thanks for being so cool about the creative use of your music.

Oh cool, YouTube has a new interactive transcript thing that works really well with lyrics. I like it.

@Urgo6667 Yeah, it's a little bit of a pain, but it seems really cool!
