Broken windows show each dream
Shattered lies they can't redeem
A wish upon a twisted heart
Diamond lies that ripped apart
Shard of truth, a pane of glass
A broken dream that came to pass
A teardrop fallen in the rain
An unseen symbol of my pain
A silver thread upon the ground
Of deaths fragile hopes that could not be found
A web of lies, and deceit
Twisted from each defeat
Bound by hatred, from a flame
Burning bright, turning the blame
Blood red tears that fall right through
Showing all that wasn't true.
A dream twisted to the end
lie to truth, from which you bend
A cold hatred from above
Back to silence, shattered by love
dreaming wishes fallen from my heart
As each lie rips it apart
A teardrop falls from those eyes
A death wish that came in the form of a lie
Hopes, that shattered upon the floor
Lies that were hidden behind, a door
A dreaming eye, he went unseen
Reliving everything that he had been
Each wish, a year to have it sell
Your secrets that you can not tell
Hidden, by all, yet free to see
Each truth, lie, dream and wish as they be
To turn them back, a nightmare made
Losing battles, memories fade
And hopes and dreams, they're sold away!
A lie born into a day.
A reality turned back on you
From a truth that they never knew?
Careful, all, for you will see
That secrets and dreams aren't safe to be.
They take your dream, and, twist it around!
SHATTER YOUR MEMORIES UPON THE GROUND!
WHISKED AWAY BY JUST ONE SCREAM!
THEY GIVE YOU BACK YOUR TWISTED... dream.
But when they do this, as I tell,
Your dream in exchange for, a nightmare, is what you will sell.
