Things Beyond Things Lyrics - Devin Townsend

[Words and music by Devin Townsend] 

Once when I was young, I used to dream for hours and hours 

I'd dream a world that wasn't small... 

And I'd travel to a valley where under trees and earth 

I'd set my girl... 

...And I knelt down by her head 

And lay roses in her hair and I kissed her gently... 

But this is what you are 

As the sun sets in my eyes I know... 

I know I know I know I know I know 

And I know this one's the light 

And the worm inside of me 

Is the oldest wound that I've nursed along 

...So don't try to get inside 

These things inside are wrong, things beyond things 

It's sick now 

It's 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 

It's starting to smell just like my friend 

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
