lyrics

I feel my dreams closing in on reality.
What's real? What's dream?
It's become So Surreal.

Cartoon faces disappear into a space beyond the fear
and light is swallowed by a mist that only grants your darkest wish.
Spinning backwards down a hole that's filled with memories black as coal.
You pause too long and you forget that you are not out yet.

I feel my dreams closing in on reality.
What's real? What's dream?
It's become So Surreal.

Meeting in an alleyway that wasn't there the other day.
It's hard to seem responsible when all your life you played the fool.
But now's the time and here's the place to leap into an open space
and fall until the pictures fade. This room in which you played.

If I close my eyes I might slip inside. Keep them wide.
Not a happy place. I don't want to stay. Go away.
How can I escape. Nothings coming out when I shout
I can feel them coming for me. Someone wake me up!

I feel my dreams closing in on reality.
What's real? What's dream?
It's become So Surreal.
