[Verse 1]
A taxi to all your inconvenient truths
When you're sitting alone in a crowded room
Forever longing for a place to fade away into the deep accepting
Arms of everyone who used to feel
The idols who pined for something real
Every time you grabbed your bouquet of glass and broken-hearted lies
[Chorus]
This dream I can never share
My self-contained nightmare
Waking up feels like a dream
This chronic state I'm living in
Where things end before they begin
I just wanted to be part of the team, but now I have nothing
[Verse 2]
Night terrors, I'm staring at the ceiling
Never sleeping, from the nights I never threw away
And mutual happiness that I am somehow always chasing
Speeding to the next mistake
The next time that I'm with my friends, and overcome with being used again
And if I died right now from a car to the right, it'd be the most beautiful thing you'd see all night
As long as everyone could walk away, there'd still be something left to say in the morning
When the embers have cooled, and all the blood has pooled around me
My private wine and asphalt mixture, the death of your darkened chauffeur
[Chorus]
This dream I can never share
My self-contained nightmare
Waking up feels like a dream
This chronic state I'm living in
Where things end before they begin
I just wanted to be part of the team, but now I have nothing
[Bridge]
I'm close to the end of something grand, and it's a mystery to me
How every time I turn a page, there is always new blood across my face
I'm a ghost in my own home, when I've ascended and turned multi-toned
I'm a star that burned out too soon the shadow of the moon
[Chorus]
This dream I can never share
My self-contained nightmare
Waking up feels like a dream
This chronic state I'm living in
Where things end before they begin
I just wanted to be part of the team, but now I have nothing
[End]
Night terrors, I'm staring at the ceiling
Trying to force some meaning
Into my life, just for tonight
I want to feel real
