They tell me weâre livinâ
In true paradise
And what weâve been given
Is greater than gold and worth any price.
While you were dreaming
Of angels in flight,
The angels were screaming
From beating their wings too close to the light.
Meanwhile you live in a lie.
Meanwhile I leave it alone.
Meanwhile another dream dies.
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home,
I live in a world of my own.
You say that the stranger
Asleep in your bed,
Knows nothing of danger.
Knows nothing of wars,
Itâs all in your head.
If you believe in
The battles you won,
Then why are you leavinâ
With so many things left to be done?
Meanwhile you live in a lie.
Meanwhile I leave it alone.
Meanwhile another dream dies.
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home,
I live in a world of my own.
All that reaches me,
Is all that teaches me
That pain and love are just the same.
Where are we going?
When will we arrive?
You tell me weâre growing
With each little death the words will survive.
Now somewhere in heaven,
The angels sleep tight,
But this isnât heaven
And nothing you say can make it alright.
Meanwhile you live in a lie.
Meanwhile I leave it alone.
Meanwhile another dream dies.
Meanwhile I try to avoid the unknown.
Meanwhile I only believe what is known.
Meanwhile my heart will be turning to stone.
Meanwhile so safe and secure in my home,
I live in a world of my own.
