[Verse 1]
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion
I don't know what is real
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion

[Chorus]
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
That my life will never end
And the flowers never bend
With the rainfall

[Verse 2]
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction

[Chorus]
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
That my life will never end
And the flowers never bend
With the rainfall
[Verse 3]
It's no matter if you're born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow
And so my fantasy
Becomes reality
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow

[Chorus]
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
That my life will never end
And the flowers never bend
With the rainfall
