A Dream Within a Dream

This is a dream that we share

A ball full of thoughts in our minds

The night is young

The game is on

And all else falls way behind

It's so real, this dreamy invention

It's never been like this…

The world is twisted around

And we can't control this creation

But it's never been like this, been like this, been like this, been like this, like this…

This is a dream going on

Where we can decide what we are and where

We may dissolve the ground if we fall

And the dream might turn into a nightmare

Maybe we grew tired of living on

This narrow path that we walked upon

And maybe we could build it somewhere

A new world made of dreamers

It's so real, this dreamy invention

We know but reality's outdone by far

Now we can be who we are

Though we can't control this creation

It's never been like this…

There's a magical current

Of belief in the air

As we let ourselves in

But when we open our eyelids

And step into the dream

A kind of vision presents itself

A man with lonely eyes

Glazed from all they've seen

Worn-down from forced goodbyes

So many has-beens

Something's taken hold of my feelings

Something's taken hold of my soul

I try to crack a hole in the ceiling

But it grows out of hand

I'm losing my self-control

Why would you leave me?

Why would you give up the world we created?

I thought we could make it and now utopia is gone

King of the promised land

Abundance of luxury

With powers to make a stand

So handsome I'll be!

This is everything that I dreamed of

This is how my life should have been

But hidden in the back of this dreamstuff

A notion so grim: something is missing

Why would you leave me?

Why would you give up the world we created?

I thought we could make it

Now I've been abandoned

And why, after all we've been through?

Utopia was you

All the fires in side me

Keep on burning my tears

When they should have been shed

In the midst of a breakdown

I'm disturbingly calm

Am I living or dead?

There's a place I long to see

That resembles home

Where the sky is dressed in blue

And I am citizen unknown

And I wish that you'll be there

Awaiting my return

To the simple lives we knew

I guess you live and learn

My kingdom finally fell

Crashed by loneliness

The wondrous heaven turned to hell

Less is more con more is less

But it's a dream within a dream

‘Cause there's no way back

The sleep and I won't separate

So here I am standing

One step from landing in time

So I may rectify my crime

Tossed through the layers

Demolishing chaos

The dream is gone

Maybe it's a dream within a dream

Maybe things are not what they seem

Maybe
