When I feel myself sinking down Through waters so deep I am sure to drown I reach into my mind, touch my intangible dreams Though not real, they keep me from bursting at the seams It probably is not at all healthy, I know... But I find reality is too far below It hurts to be awake and attuned All I feel when I am such are the deepest wounds So I weave my fantasy land full of us and me and you And find myself stepping on the shore, the sky above blue What I dream is perfect, untouchable But outside these thoughts, my mind lies in rubble
