I wake up every night
In our special place
You're standing there
Why are you out here so late?
You're always staring out through the fields
Your hair never looked so divine
In the emptiness
Why won't you talk to me?
I always wrap my arms around you
You do nothing
And we stare into nothing
Why do you feel so cold?
I try to talk to you
Tell you to come home
That it's not safe out here
The only thing that comes out of my mouth is blood
I can't breathe
But you don't care
I hold onto you as hard as I can
But you always turn to sand in my arms
And so I jolt back violently to sleep
To go on living the same nightmare
Without you

I wake up every night
In our special place
You're standing there
Why are you out here so late?
You're always staring out through the fields
Your hair never looked so divine
In the emptiness
Why won't you talk to me?
I always wrap my arms around you
You do nothing
And we stare into nothing
Why do you feel so cold?
I try to talk to you
Tell you to come home
That it's not safe out here
The only thing that comes out of my mouth is blood
I can't breathe
But you don't care
I hold onto you as hard as I can
But you always turn to sand in my arms
And so I jolt back violently to sleep
To go on living the same nightmare
Without you
