(Hide your feelings with a smile) (But it's never been easy) I'll never know what side of me to be (Hide your actions with your charm) (Just to be alone) There's a story behind these eyes Of a dreamer, a believer There's a monster under my bed That's made me realize I'm better off awake (I'm better off awake) If we dream up a world while we're asleep Of vampires, ghosts and beasts If we dream up a world while we're asleep Of vampires, ghosts and beasts Why can't we dream while we're awake? 'Cause I've been living in a fairytale Filled with everything no one dares to speak of So I dare you to be yourself in a world that doesn't feel Where reality is never here, be yourself Well, I got these ghosts that follow me around And they're watching every step I take When you'll never know That there are parts of us that we don't desire But don't give up If we dream up a world while we're asleep Of vampires, ghosts and beasts If we dream up a world while we're asleep Of vampires, ghosts and beasts Why can't we dream while we're awake? I've been haunted by everything that doesn't mean a thing Like shadows in the nights or the wind between the trees I know I'm too far gone to ever come back around We all dream, but why can't we dream while we're awake? (I've been living in a fairytale) (Filled with everything no one dares to speak of) No one dares to speak of
