[Verse] I had a dream I was floating so high Out in the cosmos no need to ask why Stars were my friends the moon held my hand Drifting through silence a shimmering band [Verse 2] Everything I wanted tucked under my heart But the light of the sunrise pulled me apart All alone running the edge of the dawn Feet touched the earth and my dream was gone [Chorus] What is this world that pulls me back down Life's such a riddle a thorn in my crown Life... life... it whispers and sighs A question unanswered beneath the dark skies [Verse 3] I held the constellations they broke in my palm The weight of existence forsakes all its calm Dreams are so fragile they flinch and they flee Leaving me gasping in reality's sea [Bridge] I trace the shadows across my skin A moment of wonder where did I begin The galaxies weep as I wake and they fade A bad world remains where dreams are unmade [Chorus] What is this world that pulls me back down Life's such a riddle a thorn in my crown Life... life... it whispers and sighs A question unanswered beneath the dark skies
