We dream dark,
we dream deep,
we dream awake
whilst you sleep.
Reality is our loneliness
Our fantasy is real,
We'll take whatever we can,
just as long as we don't feel.
We live off adrenaline,
we don't know how to not,
We'll do anything it takes,
to make the emptiness stop.
There are many of us living,
but you'll never know who,
We walk, talk and smile,
just like the rest of you.
But our hearts are on fire,
And we need to feel alive,
we're the Clyde to your Bonnie
or the Bonnie to your Clyde.
We only come out at night,
Just as the darkness falls,
there is no point in fighting,
When the darkness inside us calls.
We will jump when we have to,
The stars are ours to take,
We are the writers and the artists,
We hide before you wake.
You'll find us in the shadows,
Hidden behind our dreams,
Our minds dreaming of far-away lands,
Our hearts ripped at the seams.
We are misfits, we are outlaws,
the ones that you don't trust,
But if you're lucky to be one of us,
Our friendship is a must
We can not be tamed,
And we never fall in love,
Unless we find the one,
And only then
We never give up.
