In My Dreams

Try to open up your mind Allow the worldly things to escape Look out the corner of your eye And watch the world taking shape You asked me why I bothered to come here I was desparately seeking the light You said I'm too busy thinking of the ending And I'm beginning to think you were right I tried to shrink the world down to nothing So I could push it under my thumb I'm pretty good at finding distractions To help keep me comfortably numb I kinda wanna hand you a blindfold 'Cos I don't really wanna be seen I hope you can finally forgive me If I ever have the guts to come clean The look in your eyes feels like bullets And I'm shielding myself from the glare I take shelter from anything real And act like it's not even there I don't know why I keep pretending To love things I know I've outgrown I can't seem to get it together But I don't wanna get it alone As I feel the beat of your heart surround my room It's such a fleeting feeling that's gone too soon I sculpted your face into ice So I could watch the flow of your tears I wanted to hold you in my arms But you were already embracing your fears I don't see how we can have a future If we can never learn to adapt I thought I held the key to your freedom But I'm the lock that's keeping you trapped Tell me how you know this is real How do you know I'm not a fake? They say the eyes are the window to the soul But from the inside mine seem opaque As I see the memories drifting downstream Now the only place that I see you is in my dreams Oh is in my dreams In my dreams In my dreams Oh you're in my dreams In my dreams Oh you're in my dreams In my dreams
