Black - Killing The Dream

It’s a slow crash

So just close your eyes

And pray we make it out alive

I never said I had any answers

I’ve only ever been a passenger

In this life

Where time just keeps passing by

I’m afraid this time

Time has left me behind

Fading slowly, everything’s turning grey

I’d run towards color

Instead, I run away

It’s not the time to react

Here, we just keep moving on

«Swim with the tide or let it roll over you»

The life you had has gone away

The one you’ll have… so far

If I could turn back

Just for an instant

I’d find that kid who looks just like me

And tell him

«Go find some dreams before they’re all you can see»

This old man

Who doesn’t know the man

That he came to be

And all I’ve learned from dreaming

Is what you dream can be

What destroys you in the end

Then he asked me

«Where do you go when the life you live

Is not the life you love?»

And in that instant, as he starts to fade

I’ll make my peace with time

And let it all turn grey

I’ll remember everything

I wanted to say

And Turn to mouth the words

As he slips away

«The lives we live are not the lives we love

So learn to love what you have before it’s gone»
