White, feathery, spanning so wide: I fly!
Flying, Soaring - and so my Heart, it Sings.
While I dream, Reality I defy.

I close my eyes; while I sleep, my car crashes.
Driving into headlights, metal Collides -
my body collapses, the car smashes
Breaking the dream, I still have my insides.

I close my eyes; the Last Song keeps playing.
Over and over - I can't let it go.
Back to that day, before the Betraying;
Even in a dream - seems so long ago.

I thought I needed one final song to survive -
But you left me Silence. I wake up, and I'm Alive.

I close my eyes; when I do, I have Wings.
White, feathery, spanning so wide: I fly!
Flying, Soaring - and so my Heart, it Sings.
While I dream, Reality I defy.

I close my eyes; while I sleep, my car crashes.
Driving into headlights, metal Collides -
my body collapses, the car smashes
Breaking the dream, I still have my insides.

I close my eyes; the Last Song keeps playing.
Over and over - I can't let it go.
Back to that day, before the Betraying;
Even in a dream - seems so long ago.

I thought I needed one final song to survive -
But you left me Silence. I wake up, and I'm Alive.
