Dreams I run away from
Dreams I no longer follow
Dreams that take me back to the past
Dreams, empty, hollow.

Trysts with fantasy
Deceiving reality
waiting for me to believe
before melting into the unseen.

I flee from dreams
I keep them locked up inside
I flee from dreams
for my dreams can lie.

Actually...

I've always been more of the'believe int he power of your dreams type'...This was just one real low. :P

I guess it's always been there, but not at the forefront.

Thanks, anyway. :)
