Haven't seen the light of day since God knows when Couldn't force a smile even if I tried My heart is empty and my bones won't mend Feels like the river's running dry
And I— I keep on dreaming of the day I die Where I escape the darkness in my own mind It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of the day I die And I don't wanna wake up
Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night Resentment tries to have its day I know I'm just another dog in their fight Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes, yeah
And I— I keep on dreaming of the day I die Where I escape the darkness in my own mind It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of the day I die And I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)
And I don't wanna wake up, yeah And I don't wanna wake up
Ooh-ooh, yeah I keep on dreaming (Dreaming, dreaming, ooh) I keep on dreaming (Keep on dreaming, ooh) I keep on dreaming I keep on dreaming, yeah
(Yeah)
Yeah, and I— I keep on dreaming of the day I die (Keep on dreaming) Where I escape the darkness of my own mind (Keeping on dreaming) It's like a mental funeral, something beautiful I wanna stay, but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of the day I die And I don't wanna wake up (Wake up)
Yeah, I don't wanna wake up (Wake up) Don't wanna wake up
