lyrics

The End of a Dream (Jimmy Tillier)

At last, I’m in the place I love
Here I live, the life, I want
It’s the night, and I am dreaming

But something strange is happening
This whole world of illusions
slowly begins to fade away
The end is near, the day is here

I’m inconscient, but I know it
I’m in a world I created
This is the place where I can rest,
I am dreaming, but I’m living

Every night, I’m born and die
I dream my life, and live in dreams
And when the sun begins to rise
A sad real life is breaking in

Reality is far away
But I am fine, I wanna stay
This is heaven, I know it’s fake
But I can’t fight, I’m gonna wake

Real world is dull, all is routine
No one is free, by any means
Everyone’s life is just the same
You want to change, but all is vain

I am dreaming / I want to stay / I don’t want to wake...

I’m inconscient, but I know it
I’m in a world I created
This is the place where I can rest,
I am dreaming, but I’m living

Every night, I’m born and die
I dream my life, and live in dreams
And when the sun begins to rise
A sad real life is breaking in

Reality is far away
But I am fine, I wanna stay
This is heaven, I know it’s fake
But I can’t fight, I’m gonna wake

I know one day, we will all die
Let’s live the night, so we don’t care
I wish one day, the sun will burn
To free people from their lives.
