Where the sun shone red and lit up the whole earth
As bright as the smile on my face
I miss my wife from that place
She only ever was beautiful
The impossibly perfect to me
An incorruptible soul among the clouds
She sang with her ocean eyes towards heaven
But that past world has nothing for me
Just a run down body and a ruined city
Where everything suddenly is black
And the smells give you a heart attack
You can't simply dream of a past time
Even in dreams we know when something isn't right
I just wake up saying, "what a lie."
To go back to that place and see my children's faces
See them dance under the moon and wave goodbye on my business trips
But in this world the moon has fallen out of the sky
And I'm told everything was a lie
Maybe one day I'll learn to let myself dream at night but for now the sheets are too itchy
