lyrics

(Intro)
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland,
and you'll see that...

(Verse 1)
This land is free of demons
that provoke the conscious mind,
waiting patiently until the
day your conscience dies.
When that day comes,
they come,
but sleep keeps minds alive
and breeds the dreams
that make you want to
bring them all to life.
In dreamland,
peace can
actually exist,
and we can
be hap-
py and live in bliss.
No leash, man.
Free as America promised.
Exclusively in Dreamland!
Let's fall asleep, so we can
see the things we wish to see
and find the things we want.
Nothing real can limit dreams.
Your mind controls the plot.
Crazy-vivid imagery
your eyes could never watch.
Though, time is still your enemy;
your mind abides to clocks,
but please don't watch the clock,
or you'll be forced to stalk the dawn,
lie awake all night,
and be attacked by thoughts and all.
You know you need to fall
asleep, but stress will block it off,
enforce the mental prison you're encased in wall to wall.


(Chorus)
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to)
(dreamland) Go to sleep.
(Take a trip to) When you close your eyes you see that
(Take a trip to) nothing is as scary as it seems
(Take a trip to) when you're awake. So, go to
(Take a trip to) sleep and take your trip to dreamland.
(dreamland)
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland,
and you'll see that...

(1:22)
(Verse 2)
This land is free of pain. In fact,
the only world where pain is at
is where we're at
right now.
I wonder how
we 'came okay with that.
With anger and
depression,
our sentence to Earth
is harsh and cruel.
We're armed to lose.
Don't laugh 'cause you're a target too.
The hardest thing is dealing with
desires that we can't acquire.
We're tantalized
'cause humans all romanticize.
The future seems so bright,
but the present's always bleak.
That's why we are so eager when
it's nighttime. Only sleep
can beat that thing that
always brings back
doubt, blocks our goals,
and makes impossible our dreams, man.
The human mind is held back by a leash that
can only be released when you're asleep and go to dreamland.


(Chorus)
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(dreamland) Go to sleep.
(Take a trip to) When you close your eyes you see that
(Take a trip to) nothing is as scary as it seems
(Take a trip to) when you're awake. So, go to
(Take a trip to) sleep and take your trip to dreamland.
(dreamland)
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland,
and you'll see that..

(2:30)
(Verse 3)
This land is free of fear and doubt.
I know that you are weary now.
It seems that life is merely bouts
and battles between sleep and rouse
from sleep and into consciousness.
A demon's taunt will stop the bliss.
An angel's touch from dream's
will bring the demon reign's abolishment.
See, all of it's internal strife,
and life's lesson is learn to lie
'cause people in this world
will only like you as a prototype.
That's why I lie in bed all day
'cause I refuse to lie to be
a puppet in the play of life.
A player in the silencing.
.. The silencing of truth.
.. The silencing of you.
..This violent scene is proof,
but, when I close my eyes,
it can exist no more,
so eyelids [are] glued.

(Chorus)
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(Take a trip to) Go to sleep and dream.
(dreamland) Go to sleep.
(Take a trip to) When you close your eyes you see that
(Take a trip to) nothing is as scary as it seems
(Take a trip to) when you're awake. So, go to
(Take a trip to) sleep and take your trip to dreamland.
(dreamland)
(Repeat)
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland.
Take a trip to dreamland.
(Maybe cut off beat)
Go to sleep, friend.
