Joan

Joan’s asleep in my bed
How many times could I wake her instead?
Cover my head and drift into sleep
To fall prey to some useless dream
Oh I know it’s good inside
How could I wake the one that I’ve lied to
For so long at our best
It’s easier to lie and just pretend
Lead her on, leave me alone
I don’t want to play these games anymore
These games at all oh no
Lead me on, lead me astray
I don’t want to run away
Like a coward and face myself today
Drifting into a haze I see the man that I became
A fearless lover and passionate friend
An evil that haunts but never bends
Oh and I know it’s easy to lie
And take away the life of a child
It breaks my bones and then my smile
Until I’m the man that masks his trials
Tell me, was it all fake?
Could I wake up with a scar on my face?
I see futures so damn real
But darling you ain’t the future I dream
Lead her on, leave me alone
I don’t want to play these games anymore
These games at all oh no
Lead me on, lead me astray
I don’t want to run away
Like a coward and face myself today
Joan’s asleep in my bed
How many times can I wake her instead?
