Sitting in the cafe with a cup of coffee to my name
Observant of all things dead and mundane, watching all the children play
Grey sky monotony breaking up the harmony
Of a lackluster astrology, another triviality
In the grand scheme of things
Disenchanting humility
Wake me from this dream
Insects on a single plane, riding on a one way train
Looking for proof it's not all in vain, just a way to kill the pain
Waiting for a westward wind that'll send me onward to the fringe
Allow myself to abscind, trying to find some deliverance
From feelings of significance
Disenchanting humility
Feel it flowing from the east
Won't you set me free?
Wake me from this dream
Opened eyes that finally face what looks a truly wondrous place
Full of vibrant color and sugar taste, a melody that resonates
Stars that only ever guide the direction home and not my life
The only thing that will decide where my future will arrive
The place that my heart resides
Disenchanting humility
Feel it flowing westwardly
Won't you set me free?
Wake me from this dream
Won't you set me free?
Wake me from this dream
Won't you set me free?
Wake me from this dream
Wake me from this dream
Wake me from this dream
