(Hide your feelings with a smile)
(But it's never been easy)
I'll never know what side of me to be
(Hide your actions with your charm)
(Just to be alone)
There's a story behind these eyes
Of a dreamer, a believer
There's a monster under my bed
That's made me realize I'm better off awake
(I'm better off awake)
If we dream up a world while we're asleep
Of vampires, ghosts and beasts
If we dream up a world while we're asleep
Of vampires, ghosts and beasts
Why can't we dream while we're awake?
'Cause I've been living in a fairytale
Filled with everything no one dares to speak of
So I dare you to be yourself in a world that doesn't feel
Where reality is never here, be yourself
Well, I got these ghosts that follow me around
And they're watching every step I take
When you'll never know
That there are parts of us that we don't desire
But don't give up
If we dream up a world while we're asleep
Of vampires, ghosts and beasts
If we dream up a world while we're asleep
Of vampires, ghosts and beasts
Why can't we dream while we're awake?
I've been haunted by everything that doesn't mean a thing
Like shadows in the nights or the wind between the trees
I know I'm too far gone to ever come back around
We all dream, but why can't we dream while we're awake?
(I've been living in a fairytale)
(Filled with everything no one dares to speak of)
No one dares to speak of
