I fell in love with the girl in my dreams
then one day I manage to learn her name
We talked and laugh and this time I was awake
from then on things would not be the same
I know I was madly in love, but I cant say the same for her
I fought so hard to make it work
but thing just then began to change
instead of love, I felt pity from her
instead of smiles I received sorry stares
My life began to fade away
and with it her love
I had to walk away
never to hear from her again
but now I still find the girl in my dreams
and it hurts so bad when I'm awake

Distracted by turmoil
Looking thru the window for an escape
Loosing the balance
As the tight rope breaks
This foolish act
Must come to an end
For freedom now seems
Too far away
This is not a task for feeble minds
Since we know the truth
Only the strong survives
Spinning walls
Hypnotic floors
Clawing thru life
As the air grows cold
Betraying our instinct
A haunted circus
Hiding our faces
Behind masks

Blur


A dark cimmerian dream where it has become impossible to see
There I dwell without a voice or any sleep
Under a dismal rain of fear where I am govern by my tears
And so out here I pray for the light
Chased by memories and cries and the sanguine sounds that kills the mind
So I fade away without a single word to say
In dismay with the condition of my heart
Now things have changed and just like a game I must start again
One more time

Broken heart from birth
Lips are blue
Gasping for air
Breaking the bones
Building the chambers
Trying to repair
All is not lost
Fighting to live
In constant despair
But time moves on
And it never waits
Time moves on
While the health deteriorates
Inside my chest
I already carried three hearts
I hope this one
Lasts longer than the last
I have fought against death
Some how made it back
The endless pain
So many scars
You may think I'm broken
But I am far from that
