Lyrics
It's out there, skulking around
Shuffling outside of our door
Whispering, it beckons us still
Tapping away at our locks
Through breaking days and falling nights, it waits
When the hunger creaks inside us then
It breathes its offer again
This is not us, not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, not us, we are dreamers
You can rob us, you can trick us
Peer over our shoulders and steal our ideas
Come inside, there's nothing left here
Just a table to dance and a song we might hear
As the cold creeps and the night falls (we are dreamers)
As the cold falls and the hunger creaks (we are dreamers)
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
And we hang on as we hurtle through this space
Together we cling as we are spun in the beauty of our dreams
So don't wake me, don't shake these bones
Please don't rattle those keys
So don't wake me, don't make me look
All you gotta let me dream
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
When the night it falls (this is not us)
And the four winds blow (this is not us)
(We are dreamers) with the hunger creaking inside us
When the cold, it creeps (this is not us)
And there is nothing to burn (this is not us)
(We are dreamers) the great tree already felled and sliced
You can rob us (this is not us), you can trick us (this is not us)
Peer over our shoulders and steal our ideas (we are dreamers)
Come inside (this is not us), there is nothing left here (this is not us)
Just a table to dance on and a pot we might piss in (we are dreamers)
And as the cold creeps (this is not us), and the night falls (this is not us)
(We are dreamers)
And as the cold falls (this is not us), and the hunger creaks (this is not us)
We are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
