Dark Dreams

She awakes and doesn't know her name
The story's different but the feeling's the same
The clock keeps moving as she rubs her face
These clothes aren't hers but she wears them just the same

But you know
There's a world far away
When she drifts off to sleep
She can leave the bitterness
She can be anything
Oh she knows it isn't real
But she craves it all the same
Because nothing here seems to change

In her dark dreams
She's alive and on the run
In her dark dreams
She can be anyone
And even though it seems tragic
To her it's like magic
Cause the world is yours when you fall asleep

She said "Do you believe there's a place
Where we're headed at the end of this race?
Cause I keep getting these little tastes
And I'm haunted by a single face

But you know
There are times when I'm awake
That I feel so alive
I can be anything
And I don't need sleep to thrive
But most of the time
I feel I'm in a cage
With no way to escape."

In her dark dreams
She's alive and on the run
In her dark dreams
She can be anyone
And even though it seems tragic
To her it's like magic
Cause the world is yours when you fall asleep
In her dark dreams
She's in love with all her friends
In her dark dreams
Oh the movie never ends
And she screams "I'm happy
With the thought of what might be
So baby, fall asleep with me."
