Lyrics

Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
Voices leading me astray, cannot hide

Feels like I am growing weaker, I can’t deny
Whatever’s hurting me won’t leave me here at ease
And I can see your secrecy has gone away

In another time you left me
For someone else who’d serve your every need and set your world apart
The strain is now unbearable, turned me to stone

For all the hardship in my way
Hold on, move on

Hear me !
Now hide your face while you carry on ’till the grief comes
Save your soul from the downfall

To give and take was not an option
You had to run and sweep it all away, leave not a heart to mend
That day I cast so far behind, I’m moving on

For all the stones thrown in my face
Hold on, move on

See me !
Now hide your face while you carry on ’till the grief comes
Save your soul from the downfall

Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
(I don’t wanna hide)
They are tearing me apart
(You cannot pray for laughter)
You cannot wake

Degenerate the love and hate
We should always ever keep in mind
Our tragedy’s not far behind
Kneeling in disaster

Through all the doubt I can’t allay
Hold on, move on

Now !

As it was meant to be
Suffering’s a travesty

Obliterate our past mistakes
We should never lose sight or we’ll find
A travesty renewed in time
Chasing ever faster

Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
(I don’t wanna hide)
They are tearing me apart
(You cannot pray for laughter)
(I cannot decide)
I cannot wake
I cannot pray

Feels like living in a dream from which I cannot wake
Voices leading me astray, cannot pray
