Lyrics

Dreams, they're so hard to keep an eye on

Dreams are challenging to maintain focus on.

You never know when one won't let go

Uncertainty about when a dream might fade away.

Dreams, they're the only thing that bleeds

Dreams are the only things causing emotional pain.

Unlike my heart that forgot how to breathe

The heart feels numb, disconnected, and struggles to feel alive.


I'd spend my days in an amnesic haze

Willingness to forget reality in a state of forgetfulness.

If it meant it all went away

Desire for problems to disappear, even if it means losing memories.

Free from fears feasting on the weak

Freedom from fear, taking advantage of vulnerable individuals.

Those too incapable to speak

Targeting those unable to express themselves verbally.


I can't see past this frustration

Feeling stuck and unable to move beyond frustration.

Living like the lies inside my bright imagination

Living a life based on falsehoods within a vivid imagination.

My thoughts get lost amongst the fray

Thoughts getting lost amidst chaos or conflict.

Inside my worn and tattered brain

Mental fatigue and distress reflected in a worn-out mind.


Have you seen the person that I left behind

Seeking a past version of oneself left behind.

In the days I can't hold on to anymore than you

Inability to hold onto past moments.

Unsee the monsters lurking just beside us

Awareness of hidden dangers near, overshadowing vibrant experiences.

As all the colours fade to black and white

Transition from vibrant colors to a stark black and white reality.

I can't hold onto anything inside

Difficulty in maintaining emotional connections.

Let my organs spill out slowly every single night

An intense desire for emotional release and vulnerability.

Under the moonlight everything's all right

Finding solace and peace under the moonlight.

If you make sure you never show your eyes

Avoiding revealing one's true emotions.


I try to see what a good life could mean

Contemplating the meaning of a fulfilling life.

If I ever returned to reality

Hesitation to return to harsh reality.

Step out into the open stage

Stepping into life's challenges without a clear direction.

Forgetting what I'm meant to play

Forgetting one's purpose or role in the larger context.


I can't see past my reflection

Unable to see beyond one's self-critical reflection.

Staring disapproving at a colourless complexion

Critical self-reflection leading to dissatisfaction.

Why wake when all the guilt pours out

Reluctance to wake up and confront guilt.

Like blood came dripping from her mouth

Guilt and remorse manifesting like blood from a wounded mouth.


Convulsing forth the fetid smell

Expressing a repugnant smell emanating from inner turmoil.

Seep through the cracks engulfed whole with dread

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and dread.

Each passing hour spins me around

Time passing with disorientation and confusion.

Shadowed by souls that stare from the dead

Haunted by the judgmental gaze of past experiences.

Cold achromatic air will drown

An atmosphere of emotionless, colorless despair.

Brought in by doubt and bred to restart

Doubt and uncertainty leading to a desire for a fresh start.

Hands reaching out to pull me down

External forces attempting to drag down.

To pull me out, to pull me apart

A struggle between external influences pulling in opposite directions.


Have you seen the person that I left behind

Seeking a past version of oneself left behind.

In the days I can't hold on to anymore than you

Inability to hold onto past moments.

Unsee the monsters lurking just beside us

Awareness of hidden dangers near, overshadowing vibrant experiences.

As all the colours fade to black and white

Transition from vibrant colors to a stark black and white reality.

I can't hold onto anything inside

Difficulty in maintaining emotional connections.

Let my organs spill out slowly every single night

An intense desire for emotional release and vulnerability.

Under the moonlight everything's all right

Finding solace and peace under the moonlight.

If you make sure you never show your eyes

Avoiding revealing one's true emotions.
