The waves crash down all around me
And consume all the air I breathe
The sirens sing to me in my sleep
A familiar song of love and tragedy

But the sun won't shine where the shadow grows
Yet my heart beats still so tell me
Is this real?

[Chorus:]
And tell me is it real or is it all a dream
A made up everything
Can you tell me is this real?
The pain I hold inside the anger that I feel
Can you tell me is this real

The water rises all around me
It fills my lungs and I can't breathe in
Another sleepless night I can hear their screams
Violent cries of love and tragedy

But the sun won't shine where the shadow grows
Yet my heart beats still so tell me
Is this real?

[Chorus:]

And tell me is it real
Please just wake me up from this bad dream
Please just wake me up from everything
