Dream Eater's Escape

Dream Eater’s Escape

I’m listing to the wind
but I still don’t understand
where we will go
when someday we all fade away
I'll watch the shores
and maybe I'll find where I am
Or maybe I’ll find where I’ve been
Everything sounds the same
So I don’t say anything
Risk my neck to see out the window
At the back with the mother and the widow
Were all alone at one point or another
We all wish to lead but first we all must follow
Follow the signs left behind
Only I know my path
Only you know your path
Why we fight this war 
War against everyone
War against yourself
Do you even know your dreaming
We all are
Enter a nightmare
Exit a fantasy
Trapped under a frozen lake
Caved in a lone canyon
I’m at the bottom of my own prison
Leave me 
I’d rather you didn’t see
all i've done
or everything im about to do
