THIS DREAM

THIS DREAM

I stand here wondering if this life has been what it seems.

Has this life just passed me by, has it all been in my dreams?

Once there was someone here, but now there's a different tone.

I know when I wake up from this dream, I will be all alone.

This dream has been nothing but fuss and fight.

If there had been more talking in this dream, things could have been right.

Maybe if the demon didn't have to control my dreams things could have been good.

Maybe if I had tried a little harder, I could have understood.

In this dream there is no right and there is no wrong.

What if this dream had a different tune, what if I had sung a different song?

In this dream there are no pointing fingers, there is no blame,

Because no matter what happens this dream is going to end the same.

In this dream there once was love, at least it felt that way to me.

Something that makes you feel so good, what else could it be.

I know it had to be love in this dream because when it started to go bad

Only love can make you feel so sick, only love can make you feel so sad.

In this dream you could be sad or you could be glad.

In this dream you could see angels or devil's that are oh so bad.

If this dream is filled with demons, there is only one thing you can say,

Maybe there will be fantasies that come true in a dream on another day.

This dream can take you to places that you don't know where you are.

It can take you to places that are near and places that are far.

This dream is all there is, it's what keeps you on the go.

No matter what your reality is, this dream is all you know.

Even if this dream is just a dream, dreams have a time that they begin,

And when this dream is through, it has a time to end

There were times that this dream felt like it would go on forever.

It felt like this was where I belonged and from this dream I would wake up never.

This dream turned into a nightmare and I woke up in a sweat.

I was being chased around; I think it was my soul she was trying to get.

I woke up from this dream just in time, before she reached her goal.

I got up from this dream and walked away, and still had my soul.
