Dream of Reality
(Originally a song)
Looking through the forest
Searching high and low
Fleeing from the chorus
I come across a doe
Her eyes tell my story
A heartfelt allegory
Bullet wounds of glory
Blood spills on the floor
In this dream…in this dream…in this dream…in this dream
Of reality
Walking across the ocean
The fable of my fears
Through the waves of motion
And never-ending tears
The sun burns out my fate
The birds jeer and scream
Darkness falls upon me
Nothing’s like it seems
In this dream…in this dream…in this dream…in this dream…
Of reality
Running down the city streets
I try to find my place
While everyone is fleeing from me
I cast away my face
The lights go out, the city sleeps
No one to turn to now
The fog clears out, the darkness keeps
Weighing me down
In this dream…in this dream…in this dream…in this dream…
Of reality
I search the skies for safety
Flying way too high
From the lies and the pavements
Where the city dies
The clouds cover my useless form
The wind picks up its speed
Lightening shows a seething storm
Growing inside me
In this dream…in this dream…in this dream…in this dream
Of reality
Weighted so deeply with pain
Trying to escape these memories
Oh! Come forth ye rain
Fill my head with reveries
I don’t want what’s real!
I don’t want to feel…
Anymore
Goodbye reality
Goodbye fate
I am happy in this plastic state
Goodbye sadness
Goodbye madness
Destroy my soulless space
Goodbye you
Goodbye me
Leaving behind reality
Goodbye…goodbye…goodbye…goodbye
Goodbye
