Can't sleep; trying hard to find a rhyme Can't work; I am tired all the time Can't eat since my appetite has gone Can't think when it started to go wrong Can't move; I've no energy at all Can't see any end to this in sight Last week, I could do all of those things But now, I am just the man who sings
I've searched around for years and years I've drank in bars; destroyed careers Sold on a need to be famous
I've seen the good in men survive Only to fail when I arrive Convincing them I am blameless
I was the man with future sight I would change fortunes overnight Knowing for me it was painless
(chorus)
One day in April, 10:15 Awakened screaming by a dream Something that touched me was burning
A diamond pin fell from my eye Then something strange began to cry 'Your will can stop this world turning'
Since then I've fought more than I should Against the will that I withstood Hoping I could be its master
But now the dream is all I see There is no hope of breaking free One song away from disaster
