A whisper falls into the night
close your eyes
waiting for me to sleep
find me in your dreams

So cold and silent
I'll be there
waiting for the warmth of slumber
* just a little closer*

Hallucinating reality
this is always the beginning
It's like another life
right now it's real

I can't feel my skin
here I am
but I can still feel
control me or I'll control you

I feel fear
* you are slipping*
I feel sadness
* you want to let go
I feel resentment
know what you hold on to*

* I am the voice inside your head*
* the voice you think with*
* I am the loudest cry no one will hear*
* you control me*
* but the fear I speak of controls you*

I want to take courage
and have it become me
so I take bravery
to resolve this insanity
in my dreams

The one place I should have control
* I can help you*
where the days and nights are endless
if you let me
if I wish for them to be

Speak for me
as I speak to you
your true words
as I am a part of you*
who is me

I'm going to explore my mind
to feel who I am
and there I will find
*the place I stand
