Wake Up
Quietly you creep
 Into your wildest dreams
 Fantasies unfurl their tenuous wings
 And you sink into a slumber
  
 Wake up, you’re dreaming into flames
 Wake up, your dreams can always become too real
 But then you find and you feel
 You can’t wake up in time
 Or run from the lurking thoughts
 Which plague your battered mind
  
 Not everything you once thought,
 Would make you happy can
 The dreams of him in your arms
 Those dreams left you d.am.ne.d!
  
 Wake Up, breathe again
 Wake Up, don’t let this be the end
 Your fantasies of sabotage
 Only left you scarred
 Your fantasies of make-believe
 Are becoming your fading star!
  
 Be wary of the genies
 In every wishing glass
 Be careful of the hopes you had
 Those hopes they never last
  
 Wake Up, open your eyes
 Wake Up, don’t let the dark inside
 You have the strength in your Lion Heart
 You have the promise to
 Break free from the chains
 The chains which are bound to you!
  
 Did no one mention it’s not easy?
 To lay your dreams aside
 But if you let it consume you
 The dream will leave you to die
  
 Wake Up, the dream was a lie
 Wake up, don’t make us say goodbye
 The dream which was a promise then
 Was a nightmare the whole time
 Its trickery disguised itself
 You missed every sign
  
 Wake Up
