Haven't seen the light of day
Since God knows when
Couldn't force a smile even if I tried
My heart is empty
And my bones won't mend
Feels like the river's running dry

And I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
Where I escape the darkness
In my own mind
It's like a mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night
Resentment tries to have its day
I know I'm just another dog in their fight
Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes

And I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
Where I escape the darkness
In my own mind
A mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

And I don't wanna wake up
And I don't wanna wake up

I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming
I keep on dreaming

And I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
Where I escape the darkness
In my own mind
It's like a mental funeral
Something beautiful
I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go
I keep on dreaming of
The day I die
And I don't wanna wake up

And I don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
