The Dreamer's Make-Believe

A life that creeps along the shadows                                                          Somewhere between dark and light
Another part of fantasy offering courage                                                                     To the Dreamer’s egotistical plight

Dreams so sweet, so easy on the brain                                                                            For survival sake, he holds his grip
Lost in a world of Make-Believe                                                                                        He plans his fantasy trip

So, hard living in the real world                                                                  The Dreamer balances, hoping not to fall                                                              Holds to his imaginary powers
In a fight to redeem it all

He shines his armor of dreams so bright.                                                      And with mail, reality will never penetrate.                                               But his armor is tarnished on the inside.                                                     From dreams he’ll never make.                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                              He only yarns for the prize.                                                                        The honor, he thrives to receive
Does he not know, to the average eye                                                                            it's clearly make believe
