I heard that dreams were illegal
So i find that so many people,
Escape to an alternate reality
Hoping that one day,
It becomes there reality.
I heard that dreams were illegal
So I cant hope to see you
A life sentence is the right sentence
Because I'm dreaming to be with you
Contractions and convictions
Feeding at the criminal inside of me
Because I can't fight this distance .
I heard that dreams were illegal
So these sirens are at my feet
Red and Blue lights are all I see
Tho, I'm running to see you
I heard that dreams are illegal
But I'd stand in front of the judge
If the crime is to lay with you
What could I possibly say or do
As these thoughts run wild & recklessly ,
I heard that dreams were illegal ,
Time has passed wonderment of being with you
Is something I can no longer endure ,
The complexity has my mind racing
Heart beating faster each second of every minute ,
I heard that dreams were illegal,
Facts will lay were they may ,
I'm around but i can't come your way ,
Only time has been patientI've been patient with time ,
Demented as my behavior becomes more & more irrational ,
Saunteredly moving the sky becomes gray ,
I paint your face wherever my eyes lay ,
My propitate ways deny what is not pleasing to me
I heard that dreams were illegal
So that view of sunshine you see
Is affiliated with doing time
It is less than freedom
But more then slavery
So let us progress into the abyss
So when they finally disclose
The recipe for happiness
We'll know that we are free
I heard that dreams were illegal
So I hope that what I see
Is really just my reality
Tho my high hopes
Sink low when I realize
Im Dreaming,
