Things Beyond Things

[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



And I know this one's the dark

And the woman inside of me, is the oldest fear that

I've nursed along...

So don't try to get inside

These things inside are all just things
