Ripping Reality

Forever trapped, can't break free, I need out, let me be

Drops of falling fear, bursting into puddles of courage
Rivers run with oil, painting earth's mighty image

The sun finally warming me with memories of old friends
I'll follow them anywhere if my heart intends

Rise above the clouds, chasing the not-so-silly dreams
No way to tell real from fake, reality is ripping at the seems
