Continuum

A fear of regret eats a hole deep inside of me
The torment of failure gives me chills at night and makes it hard to breathe
But, in my dreams I’ve found a way to hide
From the horrible thoughts that keep me up at night
A place where wrong is right and failure’s undefined

Please don’t take me away from here
This is a place that’s free of harsh decisions
I’ve once again chosen to leave my life behind
In here I can live how I desire

In my dreams I know I control everything
But, as I wake up from this dream
I’m reminded of the ugliness that surrounds me

I think I’ll just go back to sleep
Because my dreams are the only place where I can feel peace
Am I awake or am I still dreaming?
I’m growing nervous it’s getting hard to tell
Would I miss this life if there’s no turning back?
Could I even turn back if I wanted to?!

But, in my dreams I’ve found a way to hide.
From the horrible thoughts that keep me up at night.
A place where wrong is right and failure’s undefined
My decision is final, I’m never coming back

I’ve made a terrible mistake
I’m trapped in a dream and I need to get out
How did this happen?
I now know that life is worth living
Not just in it’s beauty, it’s the pain, sorrow
And the heartbreaks that make me who I am
And makes me feel alive

If there’s anyone that can hear me
Anyone at all
I have made a mistake
And I’m not sure if there is any coming back from this now
Now I see that it would be impossible

For any kind of dream or fantasy
To even come close to the brilliance of simply being alive
This is my future on that line
This is my destiny
No one can tell me what’s right for me

Only I can decide
I can see life with such clarity now, and it all makes sense
I just hope that there’s a way out of here
Is there anyone out there?
Can you hear me?
I am stuck in a dream, and I need to get out
I’m at the top of my lungs
Can you hear me now?!
