lyrics

I wear a mask of smiles
And hope I last a mile
Pretended the gossips were bile
They were calling me vile
My dreams are dying embers
Ghosting upon the floor
I’m just a lost folklore
Is that forever more
But I know I’m a better dreamer
A better loner
And a better fighter
Somewhere out there
That maybe just so
Maybe
Someone will hear me
And know that I am
more than just me
So I reign all alone
My hopes are carved in stone
My powers can move seas
But does anyone see me
I’m out of stories to tell
I’ve locked my spirit in hell
I try to wait for you
My heart comes out in spews
know I’m a better dreamer
A better loner
And a better fighter
Not in this dream
That maybe just so
Maybe
you will just hear me
come out of your darkness
and be my dark knight
sew sew sew
the broken parts in secret
as I cry cry cry
those crystal tears
I will sew sew sew my broken heart
As I dream of kisses from the heart
Dream dream dream of a land just somewhere
Where you are really there
As I hope hope hope for you to see me
For more than who I am
Don’t read me my last rites
Teach me how to fight
Claim me from the dead
Before I sink like lead
Don’t let my dreams all die
Don’t teach me how to lie
Take me away from here
Or from this atmosphere
Coz I know I’m a better dreamer
A better loner
And a better fighter
Somewhere out there
And maybe just so maybe
I will just get there
If you are willing
Just to play fair
To show that you care
