You wake up to tell me
[that you're numb inside,
that the feelings all have died]
You're praying and you're saying
[that you do believe
But I don't believe that's true]
Everything has always been there
Nothing goes away that won't come back
You're living in a house of cards
And you're blowing down the stack
[Chorus:]
She sleeps under a rainbow
She won't dream in colour
She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
dream in colour tonight
Glass mirror, look in [I know it's hard to see,
when the one you free is you]
Sleep walking, high talking [but the colours
aren't real and the things you feel don't last]
You sit there looking at the sunrise
Not knowing if the day has come or gone
Wondering why it turns you off
When it never turns you on
[Chorus]
Picking at the lock on the front door
Pulling at the shutters on the windows
But you're living in a house of shadows
Even though you're lonely you think it's you
sitting at that table set for one
You're waiting for the guest that never comes
[Chorus]
