Living a life kept shut by a dream

I'm reaching out to grasp my reality

Hands of time wrap tight around my neck

And hit me so hard

Leaving me eyes black

Staring at a ceiling

Wondering why I never left

Penning words in a notebook

Wondering why haven't slept

Sanity is tapping in a cell

Inside my fucking head

Begging for redemption

After hearing what was said

The nights, they will not sleep

'Cause the days, have played for keeps
