Awaken

For every dream, there's a nightmare. For every nightmare, there’s a story. For every story, there's a teller. For every teller, there’s a person. Within every person, there’s a soul. Within every soul, there’s a light. Within every light, there’s darkness. Within all darkness, there’s a nightmare. Rather you’re looking at the sun beaming down on the flowers Or watching from the back, counting the hours If you’re dreaming of racing or flying Or singing or spying Rather you see the world in black and white Or see every new thing as a source of delight We all see the darkness, and we see it as true I know this because I see it too. The darkness in your head brings you nightmares Maybe it’s speaking, or spiders or bears You see when you close your eyes and you rest your head You start to drift back into your head You’ll remember that thing you did in 1st grade You’ll remember you’ve got bills, yet to be paid You’ll wonder how your ex could be so ignorant You’ll wonder if it would change if you’d done something different. But let’s all be honest, let’s open our eyes This world may be scary, it may tell you lies But I am awoken, I’ve moved past the grey And I hope only the same for you one day.
