I can't sleep,
its like the loneliness of the night is my only friend
We stay awake under the covers only to play pretend
I asked my dearest friend, why do we have to play for fake,
I'm up, I'm alive, I'm awake
As any good friend would do, gave me some wise advice,
"Close ya eyes my friend these dreams are your reality you cannot sacrifice"

I cannot wake,
Trapped in a place I can go anywhere in
Anybody I want to be, or know, my once friend, is now my only foe
As he turns towards me, the harsh face of reality stares at me unrelaxed
"Why are you here" he asked, "the fear of this place shall forever hold you back"

I woke up from reality & fell asleep in a dream
A mirror looking back might not always be, not yet, what it seems
