Dreams

You're hurting

And I'm just stuck here standing by the sidelines

So many graves I never noticed before

People I never knew, I never knew they existed before

I still can't find it in me to care

So many bones stuck in the ground

Make earthenware with what we've found

It's all just come to dust

Eventually our iron bones will rust

And then what will be left of us?

When our stories fall out of time

'Cause we all are just dreamers

Finding time in our sleep

To take back what we need, what we think we need

And we all want to be

Dreamers, dancing in our sleep

Echoes of our lives

But out of reality's reach

I'm hurting, I think

And you're just standing there by the gravestones

Of so, so many unknowns

People, dreamers like ourselves

Many lives wasted

Many lives untasted

Many lives fulfilled and I wish we could be

Like those busy little bees

Finding happiness in simple things

In the end we're just bones

Just empty souls longing to find home

Do we find it or are we stuck with dust

With endless days just collecting rust

And our stories will fall out of time

'Cause we all are just dreamers

Finding time in our sleep

To take back what we need, what we think we need

And we all want to be

Dreamers, dancing in our sleep

Echoes of our lives

But out of reality's reach

Take me back in time

To when I had no sense of time

No sense of dire desire

My lungs are caught of fire

Let me run away to end of the earth

Let me fade away or keep me in a jar

Feed me to the lights of a thousand stars

Hold me up and let me breathe

Or let me down and let me sleep

At least in dreams

I'm out of reality's reach
