surreal reality

so like...

eyes wide shut; dreaming awake
living a life that's proved to be fake
walking a path that doesn't exist
fighting off demons that do not resist
feeding off fire, walking on air
comparing a life that cannot compare
leading a world that cannot be lead
saying in silence what cannont be said
flying with fish; swimming with birds
screaming so loud it cannot be heard
saving a princess and winning her love
begging for help from those up above
losing my prince and losing a shoe
stuck to belief and morals like glue
flying my ship beyond the stars
sailing my plane farther than mars
a leap of faith on an ounce of hope
feeling the pain but learning to cope
taking on tyrants while leading crusades
curing it all from cancer to AIDS
healing a heart too many times torn
in love with children yet to be born
love at first sight and second and third
whispering secrets that shouldn't be heard
im falling for you, my heart you can take
but my eyes are wide shut and im dreaming awake
