A Dream Within a Dream - Everlost

Once in a while

I dream I’m alive

In a world of my own

But as I get back

The sky becomes black

My heart becomes stone

Watch all your schemes and plans

Misplaced

Destroyed by helping hands

Erased

And all the hopes you had

As good as dead

Life is idle

Death is final

But can’t you see

There’s something in between

A dream within a dream

Once I’m awake

I’m surrounded by fake

Colorless smiles

Writhing in pain

Inside the domain

Of spiders and flies

Deliberately caged

Enclosed

Too weak to be enraged

Disposed

And all the hopes you had

As good as dead

Life is idle

Death is final

But can’t you see

There’s something in between

A dream within a dream

Tonight

Abyss calls out to abyss

That’s the voice you can’t ignore

The light

Invites you into the dream

No mortal ever dreamt before
