Dream on a Fantasy

Posted on 03.15.25 under Uncategorized

I’ll keep trying
Please tell me it wasn’t in vain
To trade your silks for cellophane
Drinking beer instead champagne
How could we think that it was the same

Built a dream on a fantasy
Watched it burn right in front of me
Sad

We’re screaming through the night, but
No one hears
Running from the shadows
Of our fears
Chasing memories as they
Slip away
Fading in to the light
At the break of day

Built your house on sand with cards
Defiled her beauty with your scars
You cheat the game then place your bet
Break your vows and ignore your debts

Built a dream on a fantasy
Watched it burn right in front of me
Sad

We’re screaming through the night, but
No one hears
Running from the shadows
Of our fears
Chasing memories as they
Slip away
Fading in to the light
At the break of day

We that thought we could walk away
But we got lost and led astray
Trade your truths for embezzled hope
Compromise is a slippery slope

Built a dream on a fantasy
Watched it burn right in front of me
Take me home

We’re screaming through the night, but
No one hears
Running from the shadows
Of our fears
Chasing memories as they
Slip away
Fading in to the light
At the break of day
