They tell me we're livin'

In true paradise

And what we've 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

It's all in your head

If you believe in

The battles you won

Then why are you leavin'

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 we're growing

With each little death the words will survive

Now somewhere in heaven

The angels sleep tight

But this isn't 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
