The Dream Of Reality
Lyrics by Adam Gaskins (C)2002
Part 1:
Our future looks just like a void... Infinite and empty.
Everything is nothing, when everyone is gone.
Love was made for fairytales and happiness is a dying dream…
All the things that people cherish, they’re all the things I’ve never seen.
Emotionless I watch time flow… yet there is nothing I can feel.
I can’t see what I don’t believe. I can’t find anything that’s real.
Memories of yesterday… or was it just a dream.
Maybe I dreamed that I was real, and awoke to a new lights gleam.
Part 2:
Now, I close my eyes, it’s my disguise… Unsure if I’m alone.
They can see that I’m not the same… the defective clone.
If life’s meaning is what you seek, I don’t know what to say.
But if you want to live forever, I can show you the way.
Don’t you know you can’t find the truth, until you’ve seen the lie.
Didn’t you hear? There’s a new messiah, and he’s laughing as you cry.
The ones who’ve never known this world, they look up and they dream…
Of a reality that is not real, a place tomorrow will never bring.
Ending:
What would you give, to see through the lies?
Straight through the sky… to watch a wingless angel die.
What would you give, to learn how to live?
Learn how to love… you’re on the edge, you need a shove.
What would I give, to learn how to die?
I think I might try… I’m pretty sure that I can fly.
What would you give? What would you take?
What would you do when it is your life at stake?
