I live inside my head sometimes to hide from the reality I know, The magic there is much more real and it is hard to let it all go... I close my eyes and imagine my world is a bright and colorful field, I can't help but use it against this world as some kind of unbreakable shield... But then I have to open my eyes and face the day ahead, Tears fall from my miserable eyes, I fear the fantasy is dead... I take a breath and let it out and step forward in this place, I'm all grown up, too old for games, reality is what I embrace... Sometimes I escape back to my world deep inside my brain, It is when I have to come back here that gives me so much pain... I guess it's still the child in me that's holding on so tight, Cause I find myself back in that field when I sleep at night... I guess you could say I'm delusional and need to open my eyes, But in my heart I know this world fills us with too many lies... So keep your reality and grown up ways and keep your mind closed tight, I refuse to stay here with you, I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight...
