Sleeping by myself
With him lying next to me
I'm dreaming by myself
While his pseudo-world
       Is being created
Without me how this can
Be I'm not sure
And
How we could be holding the same
Truth
I'm not sure.

But we're not.

My hair is blonde,
But to him he makes it
       What he wants it to be,
But black it isn't how he can believe it
Is I'm not sure
And
How we could be holding the same
Truth
I'm not sure.

We aren't...

So as I walk into his pseudo-world
In search for his soul, his mind,
His spirit,
My heart screams out to him to visit my
Dreams of reality where it all makes sense,

Where we know which way the wind is blowing
       and what makes it blow that way,
The place where we can face each other
And smile our tears away
We can take hold hands and feel the breeze 
       And let our bodies fly away...
