Things Beyond Things Songtext
von Devin Townsend Project

Once when I was young
I used to dream for hours and hours
I dreamed a world that wasn′t small
And I'd travel to a valley where
Under trees of dirt I′d set my girl
And I'd kneel down by her head
And lay roses in her hair and I'd kiss her gently
But is this what you are
As the sun sets in my eyes
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know this one′s the dark
And the warm inside of me
Is the oldest fear
That I′ve nursed along
So don't try to get inside
These things inside are wrong
Things we all think
It′s sick now


Rotten to the core
Its eyes bulge and gaze at me lovingly
And I remember this smell
From my dreams
Except it was sweeter then
And even in this room
Where I used to lock my secrets
Starting to smell just like my breath
And I told you not to breathe
So now I sit and watch the rain
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know this one's the dark
And the warm inside of me
Is the oldest fear
That I′ve nursed along
So don't try to get inside
These things inside are wrong
Just things
