Dreams Aren't Real [And Tears Are Just Lies]

by BlueEyedMystery   Jul 26, 2009


Dreams aren't real.
It's what you always say,
But they slither into my sleep,
And trun night into day.
Daytime is a little scary,
Especially when you're
[not] there.
Left alone, always alone
in this godforsaken nightmare.
I can feel the panic ripple,
I can taste fear on my tongue.
But, dear, it's not real,
So just suck it up and run.
Run for you life,
Until you can't anymore,
Then lay down and die,
Die right there on the floor.
Nightmares, so real.
It's like I'm dying every night,
But no, no. It's okay.
Everything's alright.
Not real. They're NOT real.
I don't care what you say.
Just go back to sleep,
'Cause dying is A-Okay.
Those tears, they don't matter.
Oh, no they don't.
It's just a dream. It's just a lie.
I won't care. I won't.
Hold my breath,
Until sleep holds me still.
Tears still stain my cheeks,
But it's okay, dreams aren't real.
