And dreams feel so real,

There's beauty in both worlds,

If I could open my eyes,

I'm sure I would see,

But both are so scary,

And what am I to do?

To stay in dreams is death,

But to open my eyes,

Could I truly accept?

So maybe I'll stay,

Just to past the time,

And maybe one day,

I'll find the courage,

To finally open my eyes.
