Death of the Dreamer

I shouldn't be awake right now
There's nothing left at this hour
Wish I could invent a story to tell
My mind left but it wishes me well

Is anyone awake right now
The neighbourhood lights are all out
I am a dreamer that cannot sleep
I know there's a dream inside of me

Pay no attention to the crumpled up paper
These words were hard to come by
Desperate to feel my own heartbeat
Sitting in the corner at the party
With it all on my mind
Death of the dreamer
Death of the dreamer

I screamed myself awake tonight
To my relief I hadn't died
I was being chased by creatures of the dark
Not the dream I hoped for but it might be a start

Now in the dark there hides a smile
The best I've felt in quite a while
I found a dream inside my head
3 am I fell asleep in my bed

I'm writing on new pages, my mind's racing
And my inkwell's running low (I've got a lot to let go)
Say hello when you see me
Somewhere at the party
Telling all of my jokes
That boy's a dreamer
This is a song for the dreamers (for the dreamers)
