Continuing to breathe, deep down, slowly,

Struggling for air, in that room nobody but me.

Knocking on four walls, isolated from actuality

Dreams harder to interpret sometimes feels like a fatality.

Hold out your arms, give me your hand,

If you can’t do it I guess I’ll understand.

All I ever wanted is that figure of a soul,

Guessing that it’s you, that I’ll never know.

As I tried to reach out there was a shadow in the dark

I’ve seen this mystery person before strolling through the parks,

Getting closer, faster, it starts to fade away,

Gone before I knew it, before I could speak up and say.

Never need to know, why things turn out the way they do

Instead of being certain, I’m still trying to find you,

Putting two and two together but I still don’t get it,

Deep down inside it hurts, but hurt me, I can’t let it.

Try my best to smile, without being in denial,

Personality of a mentalist things feel better now,

My mentality is wild, free like a cannon, pow,

It’s amazing how aware your mind gets if you let your feelings out.

Try to be a good hearted guy, questioning myself why,

People talking I talk back, I’m not shy

Casting out judgment before people know ya,

Come back, I had a question, wait, hold up!

All of a sudden, it hit me like this,

Will I ever be with the woman of my kids.

This mystery girl, I see in my dreams,

Makes everything right and I just want her tonight.

I just want her tonight, in front of my eyesight,

Blinded by the dreams and the visions I create,

My dreams are blury does it determine my fate?

What is this mystery, holding steadily to my face.

Too many thoughts pulling on my shoulder

Too many actions violently tugging on the corner,

On the corner of me or even what is meant to be,

Acting like at times I’m playing hide and seek.

I offered her the world, she said she had her own.

She didn’t want me, but i told her I didn’t wanna be alone.

She said she was scared, I gave her what she needed

She accepted no offers, even if I begged and pleaded.

Dreaming reality eventually fades away,

This dream feels so real I wish it was here to stay,

Cause only in my dreams is everything perfect,

An enigmatic reality tells me that it is worth it.

Stuck in the dark, no way out,

Feeling my surroundings, my enviroment is wild,

Regaining consciousness, my mind’s perplexed,

I am stuck, trapped, oh my, what’s next?

Disoriented by the fact I am incoherent in this maze,

Trying to find out if this is a mind game,

Trying to remember what I did, if this is real or fake,

Why can’t I wake up, too much shit on my plate.

Sitting there gazing as I looked the shadow in its eyes,

Standing there trying to debate if it’s genuwine or a lie,

How can it be a lie? What happened to its past?

What can I do to prove to myself this relationship will last? 

Only time will tell, there’s nothing I can do,

The shadow runs away, confused I have no clue,

Look at me now, staring into space,

With this befuzzled dumb look gazing on my face.

Seconds start to pass, memories fade away,

The vision that I see turned from dark into rain,

What does this mean, tell me now please,

Not so good at distinguishing a metaphor or simile.

Getting closer to the answer, shadow turns into light,

I need an answer now, am I waking up from this night?

Blink, my eyes are open, wow, what a dream,

This is real life, I’m not dreaming reality.

Help me…
