This Dream

All we have is potential
All we have are fragmented memories
Perfect nights, that red painting on the wall
Can we rest for a moment?
It's only going to get worse
Soon we'll all be upended, we'll be bitter, I'll be numb

Think I gotta walk away from you
From those nights, smoking in my room
I don't know what to say, everything has gone away
If i'd known I had it when I had it, I'd have kept it

Heaven is wherever
I can always run away
This dream it lasts forever
And I will always float away

I try to write a song
Oh I'm really trying
But malaise is the fiber of my being
I toy with the mirror
I bend and I stretch
It's so obvious some days, today it just feels distant

All during the night
Of anxiety I wait
At last the dawn comes
The cracks of the shutters
Heartless as night

Heaven is wherever
I can always run away
This dream it lasts forever
And i will always float away

I know I'm only 20 and
Some days it's all okay
Identity's ongoing
I will soon find my way
