I’ve been dreaming lately
Faces in my sleep
Images that I hold on too
Memories that I keep

I’ve been looking lately
Gazing at what’s all around
I don’t recognize a thing
Can’t tell up from down


And I’ve been hurting lately
Nothing seems to help
I know the way I’m feeling
Long to feel the way I felt

I’ve been living lately
Thinking about the end
Am I living with purpose?
Do you really think I can?

And I’ve been dying lately
With every breath I take
This skeleton that lives inside me
Can’t wait to make his break

I’ve been praying lately
Wishing for that edge
Searching for my salvation
Oh lord, my knees are red

I’ve been dancing lately
Turn and lose my moves
Kicking up the dust around me
Settle for the tune I choose

I’ve been laughing lately
What’s the sense of it all?
I’ll just lay back easy
Have myself a ball
