Following Dreams
Lifestyle is what you make
Not what they have told you
A lifestyle within their wake
You follow what they do
A lifestyle of soul retort
The dreams of their empathy
Lifestyle of what you bought
The mind is the enemy
Afraid now of what you think
Ignore it like they do
Pray now that there’s a link
Pray now you’re normal
Ash and dreams will cover all
There’s no way you’ll die now
This very second you could fall
But you’re too caught in your lies
Follow all the gatherings
Safety now in numbers
You’ve no clue of the hate you bring
You’re too lost and bitter
It seems their dreams had tricked your mind
You’re ageing and you’re wasted
As long as you believe you stood their line
As long as there’s some life you tasted
God came
He showed me why
It seems that he is in me
I know now I must please him
White came
Am I in a dream?
Turns out that I’m in limbo
It’s a test of what I make it
Hate rules and takes our souls
But I know I must grow stronger
If I resist and see my goal
This hate will rule no longer
Within my mind I see the key
My dream is what I make it
I’ll make it turn so I can see
A world where dreams are happy
