If life is a dream Does a person who dies near a dreamcatcher Get caught like a fly in a web In the dreamcatcher and wait to be devoured By the nightmares inside I thought the dream catcher was meant to guard To keep the bad dreams at bay As I close my eyes and drift, floating through clouds Expecting the darkness to fade And for nightmares to slip away While my dreams transform into reality But oh, dream catcher, you are failing me Your net seems to wither, as I sleep Ghosts rise from the shadows, to play with my worries My fears creeping back Dream catcher, are you letting me down? Your sacred duty is to cradle my joy Isn’t it? To capture the nightmares That dared to touch my mind What a beautiful wonder this could be If only you played your part Not just in slumber, but in the waking hours too For the truth is, the real demons we face Don’t only haunt our dreams, but stalk us through the daylight Fighting battles day after day, waging wars that linger In the corners of our waking hearts

Dreamcatcher
If life is a dream Does a person who dies near a dreamcatcher Get caught like a fly in a web In the dreamcatcher and wait to be devoured By the nightmares inside I thought the dream catcher was meant to guard To keep the bad dreams at bay As I close my eyes and drift, floating through clouds Expecting the darkness to fade And for nightmares to slip away While my dreams transform into reality But oh, dream catcher, you are failing me Your net seems to wither, as I sleep Ghosts rise from the shadows, to play with my worries My fears creeping back Dream catcher, are you letting me down? Your sacred duty is to cradle my joy Isn’t it? To capture the nightmares That dared to touch my mind What a beautiful wonder this could be If only you played your part Not just in slumber, but in the waking hours too For the truth is, the real demons we face Don’t only haunt our dreams, but stalk us through the daylight Fighting battles day after day, waging wars that linger In the corners of our waking hearts
