Lyrics

How long can I stay

Contemplating the duration of staying

In this nowhere cafe

In a place devoid of significance

'fore night turns into day?

Before night transitions into day

I wonder why I'm so frightened of dawn

Questioning fear of the approaching dawn

All I have and all I know

All possessions and knowledge

Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

A dream of you sustains life


There's a moment when

A moment when old things rejuvenate

All old things become new again

Transformation of the familiar

But that moment might have come and gone

Uncertain if that moment has passed

All I have and all I know

All that's possessed and known

Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

A dream of you provides purpose


I look away but I keep seeing it

Averting gaze, yet persistent visions

I don't want to believe

Reluctance to accept

But I keep believing it

Continued belief against desire

Shadows dance upon the wall

Play of shadows on the wall

Shadows that seem to know it all

Shadows seemingly knowledgeable


Am I too blind to see

Questioning perception and insight

Is my heart playing tricks on me?

Doubting authenticity of emotions

I'm lost in the crowd, all my tears are gone

Feeling lost in a crowd, devoid of tears

All I have and all I know

All that's possessed and known

Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

A dream of you is a sustaining force


Everything I touch

Everything touched seems to fade

Seems to disappear

Disappearance in every touch

Everywhere I turn, you are always here

Your constant presence in every turn

I'll run this race until my earthly death

Commitment to persist until death

I'll defend this place with my dying breath

Defending a place with utmost dedication


From a cheerless room

In a joyless room

In a curtain gloom, I saw a star from Heaven fall

In a darkened space, witnessing a celestial event

I turned and looked again but it was gone

Observing a fleeting heavenly occurrence

All I have and all I know

All that's possessed and known

Is this dream of you which keeps me living on

A dream of you provides meaning to life
