Every night the clock strikes 12
Her eyes closed tight
The days on goings lost and dwelt
Resisting the impossible fight
The fight of reality and dreams.
Longing for her dreams to last
To leave her smiling when morning comes
Searching for a future, forgetting the past
A little different from the day.
She believes in life of dreams
Sleeping awake always
Wishing not to end with screams
But she knows it will end someday.
She'd give up the world but not blend
For the life she desires
New beginnings with no end
And alone she will face the fires.
The fire that will lurk her day in and out
The fact that dreams are dreams
Crying for there is, with no doubt
That life is a dream unfulfilled.
