I’m choking I’m choking 
On the smoke from this burning house 
I claw and I scrape 
But I can’t seem to get out oh 
But who the who is this 
That’s scratching from the ground 
It’s my world too 
But who’s gold is this I’m digging out 

When we go where we go 
When we’re dead 
Is the verdict still out 
Do we get into line 
To line up with those long dead now 
With muffled tears of sorrow 
For bones underground 
This is our time yes it is 
Without or with this shadow of doubt 

Don’t want to wake up 
Lost in the dreams of our fathers 
It’s such a waste child 
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers 
Though I must confess yes 
My dreams are a wonder about this 
This love I possess love 
Must be the dreams of our fathers 

I wanna go I wanna run 
We turn and so sure someone’s looking down 
It’s haunting me haunting me 
Leaves us here to get out 
Though I don’t believe I don’t believe 
This flavor in my mouth 
Is from my tongue alone 
So bitter I wanna spit it out 

I repeat these words 
They come out 
Under the blue light in this sky 
My empty pages are filling up 
With these wicked lies 
But I hear deep in myself 
An echo and echo 
Of empty empty emptiness 
Comes up and swells inside 

I don’t want to wake up 
Lost in the dreams of our fathers 
It’s such a waste child 
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers 
Though I must confess yes 
My views are a wonder about this 
This love I possess love 
It must be the dreams of our fathers 

Rain on my head 
Rain on my head 
Rain on me 
Can give this up 
Rain on my life 
Again and again 
Why can’t I dream this away from me 

Look at you look at you find new 
Bloated floating 
Go belly down 
Belly up in the water 
But who is this here that drowned 
We followed a drunken man 
Got us spinning round 
But it’s like he swallowed himself 
And didn’t leave us a way out 

I don’t want to wake up 
Lost in the dreams of our fathers 
It’s such a shame child 
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers 
Though I must confess yes 
My view is a wonder about this 
This love I possess love 
It must be the dreams of our fathers 

This love I posses love 
It must be the dreams of our fathers 
This love I posses love 
It must be the dreams of our fathers 
This love I posses love 
It must be the love of our fathers
