When Dreaming Means Drowning

from Whales' Empire EP by Whales' Empire

lyrics

Where are you, where is your light?
where am I? surrounded by frights
Once again you fell asleep, but you know it is just a dream
so wake up just set your sense, or live forever in a lie

How can you tell me what I have to do?
this life is mine and mine are the rules
this is a chance to prove what you’re made of,
live forever or die as a hero.

You know the way to get out of here, just close your eyes and let all disappear.
This all is just a trick of your brain, your words are useless, lost in banes.

You tried to flee, but the road wasn’t clear
you started to shout, but no one couldn’t hear
all your pain, all your sufferings, you felt betrayed, lost by your wraith .

Sorrow goes deeply inside of you.
you can’t realize what you’re going through.

we’re falling through the cracks (x2)

but the worst is being ashamed of ourselves ‘cause remorses plague us
and walls of certains that we slowly build are crumbling ruinously
we can’t neither shelter ourselves in our dreams, even if they’re close to be real
‘cause they’ve been turned into freaks.

I’m drowning in my dreams, but don’t misunderstand:
don’t waste time trying to rescue me, ‘cause I’ve already accepted it.
