Dreaming Awake (v2)

Verse 1
I walk the line where midnight meets the ache,
Half in this world, half wide awake.
Eyes like windows that forgot how to close,
Caught in a dream that everyone knows.

Chorus
Dreaming awake, where the silence talks loud,
Where the sky splits open and I’m lost in the cloud.
It’s realer than real when the real feels fake
So I sleep with my eyes open, dreaming awake.

Verse 2
The clocks melt down, the walls don’t stay,
And your voice echoes things I never say.
I build cities from memories that never were,
And I still feel the tremble like you’re still there.

Chorus
Dreaming awake, where the silence talks loud,
Where the sky splits open and I’m lost in the cloud.
It’s realer than real when the real feels fake
So I sleep with my eyes open, dreaming awake.

Bridge
I’ve blurred the lines so long they broke,
Now the dream’s the truth and the truth’s a joke.
I chase shadows that scream like they care,
But I always wake up in the same nowhere.

Verse 3
There’s a version of me that still believes,
Still sends letters the stars won’t receive.
I watch that version drift and dissolve
He’s got questions I’ll never resolve.

Final Chorus
Dreaming awake, where the damage feels clean,
Where ghosts tell secrets in rooms unseen.
No map, no anchor, just the steps I take
Floating through fire, dreaming awake.

Outro
So if I vanish while staring into space,
Know I found comfort in this half-place.
I don’t need sleep, I just need escape,
From the world that broke me wide awake.
