Tales of a Russian Doll

Last night I had a dream -
You didn’t make it home;
Had t’ face myself -
And walk this endless road;
The tide came in and rose;
I watched your heart grow cold;
I took your hand and tried;
To pull you to my side;

Who are you?
Who am I?
We keep those people buried inside;
Who are we?
When we die?
We keep these people believing a lie;
Living a lie –

Break the shells;
You got to find yourself;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;
Come out from;
Under the gun;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;

The king had lost his crown;
Lookin’ for his queen -
She hid her love that night;
Deep within the beat;
The rhythm took streets;
As the watchmen cut their teeth;
Out came the one I loved;
Shattered, scared, I set you free;

Who are you?
Who am I?
We keep those people buried inside;
Who are we?
When we die?
We keep these people believing a lie;
Living a lie –

Break the shells;
You got to find yourself;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;
Come out from;
Under the gun;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;

I’m fallin’ into the garden that I planted long ago;
This time I’m saving my life;
I won’t follow you below -

The tide washed out my love;
But the bottle sent lost my S.O.S.;
Drown my heart in alcohol;
It comes creepin’ back when I’m pourin’ out my soul -

When were young;
We learned t’ play hide and seek and show and tell;
But, tell me what’s lurking, down, deep within your shell;
From the fire we’re born and the grave we’ll die;
A life to find the beast inside;
With blackened hearts and anxious minds;
We race to win the war with time;
Bells will toll, our hearts are called -
A void inside our soul;

Break the shells;
You got to find yourself;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;
Come out from;
Under the gun;
As the world gets taller you get smaller;

I’m fallin’ into the garden that I planted long ago;
This time I’m saving my life;
I won’t follow you below –

I’m fallin’ into the garden that I planted long ago;
This time I’m saving my life;
I won’t follow you below -
