You pull me in and hold me close

I can feel your beating heart

This pounding pain brings me back again

It's a constant race on your part

Please be kind we're out here alone

This life's the one constant I know

Given time and a true, open mind

You'll see how I live inside

And I can show you how

I turn reality away

So I can live another day

No matter where I turn

I'm leaving everything behind

And turn to dreams of every kind

Cause when I'm there

I'm not living someone else's life

To leave this world reflected in your eye

Can't wait another day

Can't you see? I'm not free

Reality imposed its will on me

Try facing life without a heartbeat

Try chasing demons of your own

Breaking in to close an open mind

To find you're trapped inside alone

I turn reality away

So I can live another day

No matter where I turn

I'm leaving everything behind

And turn to dreams of every kind

Cause when I'm there

I'm not living someone else's life

But here's the world again

Wave after wave of crushing pain

Wave after wave after wave

After wave after wave
