Dreamer

Picture this, awaking from a dream
Everything you saw was real
Everything you did was real

Picture knowing yourself
Aware of the world around you
Picture failing yourself
Being unable to control that world

Now picture rising from your slumber
Lungs filled with new breath
Heart beating in your chest

Picture controlling yourself
Where your future's in your hands
Picture losing yourself
A stranger in forgotten lands

Reality is but a dream.
A dream to tantalize
And water our young minds.
Reality is what you make it.
Do you embrace it?
Do you fake it?

Are you yourself?
Are you free?

Our minds constrain us
And our bodies hesitate.
Our vocies tremble
And our hands shake.

In reality we stand motionless.
And in reality we scream.
We ask questions to others
To understand what can't be seen.

We share no eyes because
In reality we see none of the same things.
In reality we live
And reality is but a dream.
