A Dream within a Dream

Why do I see what I see
Confined in this reality
It's pulse drains my time
Does this really mean to be alive
Every future turns into a past
Is there a purpose if nothing can last
Why do I think? Why do I feel
What if my whole life is unreal

All humans fear to disappear
And to lose what they never had
No one to save or to be saved
Absolution won't help the dead
No special role for paltry souls
Afraid to know that there's no fateful twist
It's just a dream within a dream
Inside of which I am doomed to exist

Fallen leaves will never return
To the branches where they were born
Hopelessly lost in the countless time rifts
Fragments of my past as if I never lived
How does death differ from life
Is it like in a comatose person's mind
Or a pure state of nonexistence
Where the size of universe is a petty distance

Everyone who was born will die in the end
But this cycle was likely developed not for nothing
Maybe our lives are simply shards
Which seem to be a part of something whole
