Open my eyes I take my pill To feel alive I won’t sit still No more complaints No more joint aches It may be fake but I’m awake…
A trance-like state It is a place So I can hide No need to face There is no shame No more disgrace The astral plane My inner space
-
A dreamland Utopian place; my mind where it exists Then leave me here, I wish to stay; This place I want to live The world out there’s too harsh and cold; I’m tortured day-to-day It’s safe in here; stay till I’m old I’m better off this way Though it’s not real, it’s real enough As long as I believe I’m not like you; I’m not as tough So, lies are tales I weave Turn into truths inside my head My new reality I live my life as if I’m dead I’m fine; Just let me be
