Reality fades, the smoke unwinds (where I go)

Enter dreams I paint in my mind (to escape)

Fractured hopes that tether my soul (I let go)

In shadows of my self-control (without trace)

I build worlds from hollow dreams (in my head)

To flee the life splitting at the seams (I'm misled)

A symphony of chaos lives in my thoughts (I can't hide)

I close my eyes to the rhythm of loss (I collide)

Woven webs of fantasy I find (they constrict)

A tapestry of worlds defined (I can't predict)

With whispered truths and fragile peace (I confide)

In these realms where I find my release (I divide)

In the silence, I sculpt my escape (sculpt my dreams)

With colors bright, to frame the landscape (in between)

I wonder when these illusions will fray (fade away)

Or if this world will burn or stay (a fragile way)

Through the storm of my own creation (crashing down)

I hide from the fear of confrontation (all around)

Masked by verses never spoken (silent cries)

In dreams all these pieces remain unbroken (where truth lies)

I build worlds from hollow dreams (in my head)

To escape the life's agonizing screams (I'm misled)

Where fires burn and shadows blend (I ignite)

Crafting stars from midnight skies (in my core)

A melody of tumult reigns (within me)

In my fortress of lonely refrains (I break free)

Every heartbeat's a fragile beat (caged inside)

Carving dreams where the real and the imagined meet (I collide)

In this place where echoes gather loud (I create)

I hear my solace blend in the crowd (to elevate)
