Echo Video (MV)

I never knew I slept with my arms crossed across my chest
Like a vampire in the early evening, pausing biting for rest
But maybe it's protecting a most vulnerable place
That sends me secret messages by starting up to race
Now it is the center of all that we speak
With countless appointments and a fraction that's weak
When four a.m. rolls around, I'm solving world peace
Shards of glass under my lids, and thoughts that never cease
Give me an idle dream
Enough to break the waves
Clear the daily scheme
An echo through the caves
I can feel the pounding much more in the later hour
The house is quiet, I'm horizontal, an empty tower
Is it an extra beat, or just the backup?
I have to check my watch before I crack up
The thoughts start to creep, I'm the lone one awake
As I repeat my mantra to keep the demons at bay
Give me an idle dream
Enough to break the waves
Clear the daily scheme
An echo through the caves
Give me an idle dream
Enough to break the waves
Clear the daily scheme
An echo through the caves
Leaving the nest
Of bad shows and paddle vests
One room for days
Without the stimulating ways
Of waiting in a waiting place
Are they looking at my face
It's gonna take a few days to feel ok
It's gonna take a few nights to feel alright
Give me an idle dream
Enough to break the waves
Clear the daily scheme
An echo through the caves
Give me an idle dream
Enough to break the waves
Clear the daily scheme
An echo through the caves
