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...
