Inside the Dream

"In all the world I've seen nothing to hold on. To keep me safe from this. To keep me warm. While all the world goes to sleep, I'm here awake inside the dream. My will is like a candle's twinkling flame. The days of steady burning, gone. I have no drive to fight the winds. Removed from the board, like a feeble pawn."

All the ways it could kill me...

We're going back to a time where I should have been
And all along I would go where I should lead
Another way to find me inside this dream

"Once more we try to forget that this has happened before... and now we couldn't care less. Be sure, once more, that this has happened before and now we couldn't care less. Of all the ways this could kill me and of all the words I say... this was nothing before and now in nothing this will stay."

Looking in, looking out
No it's not me and it's not you
And there's nothing I can do

"I stagnate alone in the cobwebs. It doesn't mean a thing. It doesn't mean a thing."

Who are you?

With everything, with nothing now
It doesn't mean a thing, without - within
When everything has broken down
Do you see yourself inside the dream?
The candles all, are burning out
And here we live inside the dream...
I give everything and get nothing back
Is this all I have inside the dream?

Of all the ways it could kill me
All the words I say...
Be sure that this has happened before and now we couldn't care less...
