Things Beyond Things Lyrics

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
