[Verse 1]
I've loved a thousand loves
And I've kissed a thousand lips
I've tasted every sound
From a golden goblet sipped
Sometimes it's hard to face the day
Just close my eyes and drift away
In these lands I travel deep
I see clearest when I fall asleep

[Chorus]
Just 'cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the Illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams

[Verse 2]
I've been a million places
And I've met a thousand friends
I've sailed the oceans peaceful
And I've seen the worlds end
Sometimes the roses fade to gray
Just close my eyes and drift away
To all the worlds I have made
I see clearest when I fall asleep
[Chorus]
Just 'cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the Illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams, woah

[Bridge]
And I escape
When I leave this place
I'm not looking back
From this prison break

[Verse 3]
I've been crowned as king
And I've fallen on hard times
I've been noble in my deeds
But committed heartless crimes
For all that it's worth
Imagination gave it birth
These words that I sing
Are a piece of hope that I will bring

[Chorus]
Just 'cause you close your eyes
Doesn't mean you see things worse
Sometimes visions the Illuminative curse
This world isn't all it seems
See I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams
[Outro]
And I've lived a thousand lifetimes in my dreams
