**Mind Opening**

I live inside my head sometimes to hide from the reality I know,

The magic there is much more real and it is hard to let it all go...

 

I close my eyes and imagine my world is a bright and colorful field,

I can't help but use it against this world as some kind of unbreakable shield...

 

But then I have to open my eyes and face the day ahead,

Tears fall from my miserable eyes, I fear the fantasy is dead...

 

I take a breath and let it out and step forward in this place,

I'm all grown up, too old for games, reality is what I embrace...

 

Sometimes I escape back to my world deep inside my brain,

It is when I have to come back here that gives me so much pain...

 

I guess it's still the child in me that's holding on so tight,

Cause I find myself back in that field when I sleep at night...

 

I guess you could say I'm delusional and need to open my eyes,

But in my heart I know this world fills us with too many lies...

 

So keep your reality and grown up ways and keep your mind closed tight,

I refuse to stay here with you, I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight...
