Open Windows - Dream State

Listen!

Bleeding out my pockets

Just to try and save your neck

Unless you can afford it, then we can’t help you she said

You’re not the priority and we want to build your debt

Yeah, that’s what she said

Yeah, that’s what she said

This pursuit to perfection has gotten so old

And all of our people are selling their souls

Maybe it’s just me and I’m getting old?

But I don’t get it

No I don’t get it

Listen!

We’re stuck living behind open windows

Looking for a way to pull the blinds closed

But we’re better than that

And I’m better than that

Better than that

Better than that

We’ve got to bite the hand that feeds the fear

It’s madness cured by madness

And sadness treats sadness

And everything is upside down

The problems are countless

He said it’s a conspiracy

She feels it’s hypocrisy

He knows there’s no meaning

She said everything happens for a reason

You told me your heart broke

'Cause you opened your soul

You said it’s like its left a mark

A deep hole

For just being honest

For being yourself

It’s just another problem

That he shelved

We’re stuck living behind open windows

Looking for a way to pull the blinds closed

But we’re better than that

And I’m better than that

Better than that

Better than that

We’ve got to bite the hand that feeds the fear

Yeah, I’m better than that

We wake up in that sullen place

Comfort in a preordained space

It can all feel so contrived

We’re all glamourizing each other’s lives

Feeding on minds

It’s madness cured by madness

Sadness treats sadness

And everything is upside down

The problems are

Countless

We’re stuck living behind open windows

Looking for a way to pull the blinds closed

But we’re better than that

And I’m better than that

Better than that

Better than that

We’ve got to bite the hand that feeds the fear
