Other Side Of Tomorrow

Hush, hush
Don't sleep

Gotta keep our eyes
And ears open (x2)
Open, open

I wanna see the other side of
Tomorrow
I have all these dreams I never got the
Chance to live out
I wanna go further than I ever been before
Oh I never got the chance to work them places out

Hush, hush
Don't sleep
Gotta keep our eyes
And ears open (x2)
Open, open

Would you put me in your pocket
Just for tomorrow?
Then I swear we'll have the time to get our feelings
Figured out
Would you take me further than I ever been before?
We'd survive and surviving's all it's ever been about

Hush, hush
Don't sleep
Gotta keep our eyes
And ears open (x2)
Open, open

Wrote this song the other night when I couldn't sleep, thinking all sorts of irrational thoughts and picturing the most surreal things in my mind. Sometimes it just feels as if it would be easier if we never slept. We'd never miss out on anything, we'd never have to worry about being caught off-guard. We'd never have to have nightmares, or have those wonderous moments when we've fallen asleep during the day and wake up, not knowing the time or the day. It'd all be so easy. This song is about keeping quiet, never sleeping... all simply in order to survive the day. Or, pardon me, survive the night...

Here's the link if you want it (although this is for Illusion&Dream, I think you could put up practically anything you'd like up there):
