Lyrics
Dreams, ghosts scenes,
Play like a movie inside
My mind at the ending.
Time, whispers to me
Windows of memories
A child pretending.
Don't want to stop dreaming
Don't want to stop feeling
Don't want to stop breathing to die
Just need to believe in the love and the lies
Of these jaded eyes.
Pain, does fade
Step out of the body and breathe
The silence in the beginning.
Don't want to stop dreaming
Don't want to stop feeling
Don't want to stop breathing to die
Just need to believe in the love and the lies
Of these jaded
A black raven steals
The secret's revealed
Facing the sun with one eye closed
You don't exist
I can't resist
In climbing to the top
Don't want to stop
Don't want to stop feeling
Don't want to stop dreaming to die
Just need to believe in the love and the lies
Dreaming (don't want to stop dreaming)
I'm dreaming (don't want to stop feeling)
I'm feel'n (don't want to stop breathing)
I'm breathing (to die)
This time
Just need to believe in the love and the lies
Of your jaded eyes.
