Sleeping his only escape from it all When he's dreaming, he gets a chance to escape from the world and leave it behind He doesn't know what is real, but he knows he'd rather not deal He doesn't want to wake up to the world Running she wants to run across the grass Instead she's lying on a hospital bed, hooked up to gas and tubes and lights She doesn't even know she's alive Except her mother's praying by her beside The coma has her locked into a hole She doesn't even know what is real except what they tell her to feel What are you looking at? Sometimes the things behind us help remind us What are you looking at? Sometimes the things behind us help remind us of that No they never told us Somewhere between the conscious and the sublime familiar faces meet for a moment displaced in time When one of them talks he says he wants to give up, cause his daughter has been taken across He doesn't think he can make it on his own When the other face tries to respond she sees the face is already gone What are you looking at? Sometimes the things behind us help remind us What are you looking at? Sometimes the things behind us help remind us of that No they never told us
