Devin Townsend Things Beyond Things Lyrics

Things Beyond Things Lyrics

[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 wound that 



I've nursed along... 



So don't try to get inside 



These things inside are all just things
