I was out of touch
They coated the gold and told me enough
And I thought the party was a church
In the end I was still searching
Crying in the December loss
Wait a minute, it's wrong to say
It didn't cost to go my own way
I tell you I went away
The year was hollow
I was following the absolutes that'll make you cry
If a lost, at least I knew I wouldn't die
But honest beat security
And I called for me to look and see
The little I believe
Chorus:
I will not live a lie to keep me dry
Or keep me going to your dreamsky
I will not live a live to keep me dry
Or make me stay in your dreamsky
Red looked a little brighter
When I didn't need a lighter to see
Down the tunnel of faith that is running
To my funnel where I put it in a bottle
I feel free without the thing
That was hypnotizing me
And it said not to fall asleep
When I had buried me deep in you
Within you I felt I'd always been you
For the longest time
And if I had decided that my decision
Wasn't mine and I hadn't learned a lesson
I'd never know the glow that made me wake up
I let it all in
Flooded it all out of my heart
Kept the part that still made sense
And discarded the part that wasn't me
Or what I believe
Chorus:
I will not live a lie to keep me dry
Or keep me going to your dreamsky
I will not live a live to keep me dry
Or make me stay in your dreamsky
I am looking a little damp
But I was a damn site further
From what I am, what I am
Celebrating the late Mr. Purity
I don't mourn for him
But don't think I'm dirty
Don't worry, have another drink
Another go with me
Start, start, go
Ready, set, blow
And I'll say as they blame me
That once I would've gone along
And believed that I was wrong
But I won't lie, I'm not that kinda guy
Hey, hey, hey, I'm not that kinda guy
I'm wet, not dry, not that I would lie
Just want to say goodbye to that part of me
Those beliefs
Chorus:
I will not live a lie to keep me dry
Or keep me going to your dreamsky
I will not live a live to keep me dry
Or make me stay in your dreamsky
I will not fake a try to keep me alive
Or keep me heading toward your dreamsky
I will not stay and die to keep me alive
Or make me stay in your dreamsky
Make me stay in your dreamsky
