Liam Frost - I Woke Up From The Strangest Dream lyrics

rate me

Last night we slept caught in the low glare of the television screen

Beneath the snowy static was my vivid fever dream

And the dialogue was faulty in that cold flickering light

Oh sweet tragedy, end here tonight

And I woke up in a church beneath an old and rugged cross

There are demons here to beat, I swear that all my faith is lost

And no one here can hear me but it only feels right when I sing

So I sing with each chord my heartbreak brings

But each verse is trite, and try as I might

I could never quite complete this parody

I don't think I fit in where this story should begin

And I'm tired and I'm angry and I'm wondering, if you think you'd let me in

So as we slept caught in the low glare of the television screen

I dreamed of all my losses, I'm afraid of what might be

My father had an angry hand my mother didn't see

Son of John, a storm is gathering over me

Oh me oh my, oh woe is me

My life is filled with grief

Such immeasurable misery

Throughout all the tired clichés

Boy, sure as shit, you'll see

They'll give you all the money

Now the prize is yours you see

Oh Oh Oh Oh

So pour me one last cup, kid I just give up

As I feel the earth's slow pull of gravity

We'll go our separate ways, I'll be back someday

Just let your compass navigate you, let your compass navigate you

Pour me one last cup, kid I just give up

And I feel the earth's slow pull of gravity

We'll go our separate ways, I'll be back someday

Just let your compass navigate you

Let your compass navigate you back to me
