Analysis of the dreams
As i lie here in slumber
The hardest thing to do
Thoughts of dreams and other things
And dream the dreams of new
My soul is in this prison
Locked up thier is no key
Dreams have been forgotten
These dreams shall set me free
I am the shadow of the man
Dreams of days gone by
This shell i call my prison
Shall i dream until i die
This day will come
I shall not run
From what I've dreamed will pass
I will not hide
From whats inside
The dreams they will outlast
The broken dreams that bring me down
Are these the keys I need
The dreams I have forgotten
Are the dreams that hide in me
