The Image Faded - Bloodshot Dawn

You close your eyes and try to recall

But can only glimpse the splintered pieces of the whole

Try to catch them and they drift out of sight

The Image Faded

Unclear after all this time

Begin scrabbling for inspired fiction

Subconscious fabricates a distorted scene of the story you left behind

Living your life in a dream

Of the day that never comes

A fantasy so clear

Only to wake and find…

… Nothing can live up to this

The images in your head

Start to believe it and you’re losing your grip

Addicted to a made up world

Now indifferent to your waking life

You pray for endless night

Keep your head in the clouds and your life will pass you by

Living your life in a dream

Of the day that never comes

A fantasy so clear

Only to wake and find it never was

With every sleep you return

To the day that never comes

But always wake to find it never was

Living your life in a dream

Of the day that never comes

A fantasy so clear

Only to wake and find it never was

With every sleep you return

To the day that never comes

But always wake to find it never was
