The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dusk till dawn, but it feels so dark til then
drowns you out, so you can't be too [i]surreal[/i]
[i]common bonds, and fill me up with me[/i]
everybody in this world is just like me
so what
grow on
Life ain't nothin but a dream
Realistic as it seems
Sounds like fear
Thinking there might be a cure
Waste your life, but you don't know what it's worth
Comb your mind for the treasures of the soul
Too close to find anything outside yourself
so what
grow on
Life ain't nothin but a dream
Realistic as it seems
Miles till dawn, but it feels so dark til then
drowns you out, but you can't be too certain
[i]common bonds, and fill me up with me[/i]
everybody in this world is just like me
and so what
grow on
Life ain't nothin but a dream
Realistic as it seems
