lyrics

i can't tell if I'm real
or if I feel
do I exist or
are you only dreaming me?

and I could try to be
even though I never was
more than a fragment
of a bad idea

I rest my soul
on shores serene
wishing that you could see
everything I could have been

i can't tell if I'm real
or if I feel
do I exist or
are you only dreaming me?

reflections of identity
existent just in dreams
the world has gone away
and so have you it seems

this stasis is too real
its draining me too much
a state of hybernation
waiting for a waking touch

I think ive gone too deep
you're just an echo
of a ghost that
used to haunt me in my nightmare sleep

Was anything ever real?
Why dont i feel?

i can't tell if I'm real
or if I feel
do I exist or
are you only dreaming me?

reflections of identity
existent just in dreams
the world has gone away
and so have you it seems

I think ive gone too deep
you're just an echo
of a ghost that
used to haunt me in my nightmare sleep

you said you fell apart
but I'm the one who lies here
waiting for the sun to warm my bones
and thaw my heart

i can't tell if I'm real
or if I feel
do I exist or
were you only dreaming me?
