In the shadows of my mind

I build castles in the air

Hoping they keep me blind

To the truth I can't bear

Dreams won't hold the tears back

When reality's a sneak attack

Living in a world of pretend

Only makes the heart descend

Through the echoes of a scream

In the night my secrets lie

Caught between nightmare and dream

Wishing for wings so I can fly

But visions fade in shadows bright

Can't escape the haunting fright

Building walls inside my mind

Just to leave it all behind

When the dark thoughts twist and twine

I'm seeking solace, trying to find

A place where echoes softly call

And broken dreams won't let me fall

Yet with every fleeting glance

Reality pulls me from my trance

No fantasy can hide the scar

From wounds carried in the mind's bazaar

(carried in the mind's bazaar)

Dreams won't hold the tears back

When reality's a sneak attack

Living in a world of pretend

Only makes the heart descend

(There is no rewind)

Dreams won't hold the tears back

When reality's a sneak attack

Living in a world of pretend

Only makes the heart descend

(carried in the mind's bazaar)

(Make no rewind)

Dreams won't hold the tears back
