LYRICS
A DREAMER NEVER SLEEPS
I must admit to you
Something that I've never told anyone
Anxiety's got the best of me
I'm between a rock and a hard place
on a swinging bridge burning at both ends
As I'm falling down
I now see the way out
I will scream and shout
I now see the way out
I would kill for this
Did you hear me
I'll bare the burdens of the world
you no longer have to suffer my friend
I've come to bring you hope
I no longer question if I'm alive
(If I'm alive)
I can see it now this is my life's meaning
(Life's meaning, I cannot fail to bring life to this frail world)
I no longer question if I'm alive
I can see it now this is my life's meaning
You'd rather burn the tree than to turn a new leaf
You'd rather kill the man than to kill the disease
Your life is a constant contradiction
So full of yourself that you're feeding the world
Your life of lies
Keep it to yourself
done, I won't compare myself to your opinion
filth, you swine
Wallow alone in your misery
And stay away from me
Go forth
I hope your mind finds peace
Away from me
Go forth
I hope you find yourself as far as you can get away from me
Or watch me finally self destruct
I am done with this
I am through with this
(With this)
I'm so through with this
I can't stand this
I'm not one of you
You're not part of me
We are so separate
I am done with this
I'm so through with this
Everything that this is
I can't stand this
I am not one of you
You're not part of me
We are so separate
It hurts me to do this
I must tear you limb from limb
I thought I could save you
I thought I could save you
Who really knows how this will end
You're a bitter man living in the past
I'm the better man moving on again
I thought I could save you
But now I see
I was the one who need saving
I need this as much as they need me
I no longer question if I'm alive
I can see it now this is my life's meaning
I no longer question if I'm alive
I can see it now this is my life's meaning
(I cannot fail to bring life to this frail world)

Deceivers, collectors of skies
Malevolent hearts and porcelain eyes
Spreading their toxic
Feeding us all lies
As I'm starving for nourishment
I wipe the blood from my back
and the tears from my eyes
now I'm exposing the truth
All the lies that poured from you
You said I'd reap here at last
That I have learned from the past
But now my time and money's spent
You said I'd reap here at last
That I have learned from the past
And now my time and money's spent
Tell me how the fuck that's supposed to pay my rent
blegh
I can't take my mind off this matter at hand
you exposed your grasp then bit my hand
I just can't believe you've done this for me
I live blissfully
I sold myself so I could feel
This can't be real
On your TV screen
front page magazine
for fifteen minutes I'm finally real
so many moments I could capture but this one
I will drown amongst my bitterness
Get up
I'll make this clear to you I came with an intent
I've witnessed hell, I've seen the fire and I conquered it
There is no demon that can eat me alive
As long as I have will I know I will survive
I'm done
Deceivers, collectors of skies
Malevolent hearts and porcelain eyes
Spreading their toxic
Feeding us all lies
as I suffer from ill-nourishment
I wipe the blood from my back and the tears from my eyes
I just can't believe you've done this for me
I live blissfully
I sold myself so I could feel
This can't be real
On your TV screen
front page magazine
for fifteen minutes I'm finally real
Say this, say this now, say it to my face
I am the one who lives inside your head
admit to this now, admit to me
I'm the one who haunts you
Say it to my face
Bitch what?
Spreading their toxic
feeding us all lies
I will never go hungry again
I'm exposing the truth

I see what's within the deep
The darkest parts of this world so hollow
A path opens in me
You must follow
I must follow
I see what's in the deep
The darkest parts of this world so hollow
A path opens in me
You must follow
I must follow
I don't back down from shit
I'm standing here in the tunnel
With my back to the light
Embrace, endure this realm of existence
I was made to fight
Just burn my empty casket
You'll never put me in a grave
Admit the truth you're fighting circumstances
Not accepting they're consequences
I see what's within the deep
The darkest parts of this world so hollow
A path opens in me
You must follow
I must follow
I see what's in the deep
I see what's in the deep
I see what's in the deep
answer this thing for me
What do you see just before you sleep?
I toss and I turn beneath these sheets
I swear my mind will never find peace
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Come forth to me
The faint of heart
Should get away from me
Reveal the ones living in this misery
Reveal yourselves
Reveal yourselves
Reveal the ones in misery
Come forth
I toss and turn as I watch the vultures
They circle above while I fall into the deep
Don't you see
The dark in me
It should be
inside of every human being
You must see
the dark in me
It must be
inside of every human being
I see what's within the deep
The darkest parts of this world so hollow
A path opens in me
You must follow
I must follow
I see what's in the deep
You must follow me
I see what's in the deep
You must follow me
