Dreaming Reality

The dreams that I make are nothing to me
Nothing more than empty scenes
To entertain someone else in sleep
A pretty picture to them, more work for me

I'm not afraid to work
I'm just afraid to sleep
I know I'll have to wake up again
And face the nightmare that I'm in

There's a song in my head
That I sing in my sleep
To keep myself down
To stay in my dream
But when I wake up
The dream isn't true
This nightmare is real
But so are you...

They say true love finds you on its own
It must be lost; I'm still alone
But this city's core is colder than stone
Maybe it wasn't me, maybe it's just my home

I'm not afraid to love
I'm just afraid to feel
I know that once reality kicks in
I'll be lost in my nightmare again

There's a song in my head
That I sing in my sleep
To keep myself down
To stay in my dream
But when I wake up
The dream isn't true
This nightmare is real
But so are you...

Why am I afraid?
(Dreams just don't come true)
And still this nightmare
Wouldn't be real without you
I don't know your name
(Nightmares do come true?)
And still this dream
Managed to stay the same

There's a song in my head
That I sing in my sleep
To keep myself down
To stay in my dream
But when I wake up
The dream isn't true
This nightmare is real
But so are you...
