Swimming through fantasy
Stubborn, yet no turning back
Lost within a dream
Fading away from reality
Pointing out self-perceived perfection
Always meaning well

I'm stuck in the fantasy department
No one to help me out of this labyrinth
Caught indefinitely without certainty of escape
Trying to fantasize my way out

Finding my own secret euphoria
Drowning in waves of fantasy
Engulfed in doubt when reality opens my eyes
Emptiness & silence is all there is
But, I flee to where all senses are alight
I close my eyes for a better world

Stuck in the fantasy department
Nobody exists to help me now
No matter how far I run....
I try to fantasize my way out
