The world is turning a little too fast
I can’t let go of the memories of the past
Fairy tales are broken down
At the sight of the shattering sound
My life is endless and yet I will die
Watch me fail again no matter how much I try
You speak simple words with no meaning
Poetry in motion sleep with no dreaming
I wish it were sickening how we live like we die
Drowning in all the tears we cannot cry
I wish it were unreal this excuse of a tainted life
Breathing in air that is brimmed with strife
I wish it were a story and that this wasn’t about me
I wish I could find out that this were a fantasy
A love made out of crystal yet isn’t clear
Peace and harmony built right on fear
This nightmare is ours and we will keep it
It’s the last addiction we need it
Ghosts and angels standing side by side
All come to meet us and join in the ride
Keep quiet we can’t afford more screaming
Poetry in motion sleep with no dreaming
I wish it were sickening how we live like we die
Drowning in all the tears we cannot cry
I wish it were unreal this excuse of a tainted life
Breathing in air that is brimmed with strife
I wish it were a story and that this wasn’t about me
I wish I could find out that this were a fantasy
A hope a distant want an unspoken a prayer
Wondering night and day if the answers out there
A thirst a broken want a lifetime yearning
That’s what a wish is the fuel in the fire burning
I wish it were sickening how we live like we die
Drowning in all the tears we cannot cry
I wish it were unreal this excuse of a tainted life
Breathing in air that is brimmed with strife
I wish it were a story and that this wasn’t about me
I wish I could find out that this were a fantasy
Poetry in motion sleeping with no dreaming
I wish it were black and white in our eyes
That someone could hear our screaming cries
I wish it were more beautiful while we watch it decay
Our little dreams wasting our lives away
I wish it were a story and that this wasn’t about me
I wish I could find out that this were a fantasy
