Want the feelings all to stop

Back and forth with feeling blue

Even running high-speed, I'd never start to see down the road I need to someday catch up - MAYDAY

Putting on a mask is tiring, though

I won't complain, I'll just keep closed

I won't complain, I'll just keep closed

The dark skies of real life shine no light on dreamers

I push through these days with a face I don't know

As if I have no existence

The world moves on relentless

You can't change a thing with feelings in the way

It all comes falling down

When you wake to your dream

In your own eyes, what will you see?

Fighting through these dark days

Someday, I'll see the sun rays

What's wrong?

I'm no longer able to drеam like the me insidе

So I'll wait for that day to show me it's face

Standing here, I see it

What it is I'm needing

If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside

Let them sit, Let them sit, mix them in til I'm born again

And live this dream forevermore

The cost of living that dream

Is to be hated for being me

Even if the world won't let me be

There's no way I can say that I'm happy this empty

Laughing it away is tiring, though

I won't complain, I'll just keep closed

I won't complain, I'll keep closed

I live on a lie whispering that I'm fine

Reality's cold so I'll leave it behind

And again I push the me I hide

Far away, I'm done living that life

Telling yourself, "No more", only goes so far, soon it comes falling down

I've been searching through my soul

I think it's time that I let go

Fighting one another

Done running any longer

If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside

Let them sit, Let them sit, mix them in til I'm born again

And live this dream forevermore

Empty lives that we're living go on by

Hiding how we are feeling behind lies

We were told we should grow up in no time

We mocked everyone who fell behind

Because I know the truth is too much to take

I lied so that my heart won't break

I've always known, although I tried to run and hide

Not a thing will amount from this life

I miss the days were everything was alright

And my eyes always shone so bright

Tell me, now

When you wake to your dream

In your own eyes, what will you see?

Fighting through these dark days

Someday, I'll see the sun rays

What's wrong?

I'm no longer able to dream like the me inside

So I'll wait for that day to show me it's face

Standing here, I'm seeing

What it is I'm needing

If I can't waste the feelings buried deep inside

Let them sit, Let them sit, mix them in til I'm born again

And live this dream forevermore

We'll meet where life's worth living for
