Lyrics: [Instrumental Intro] if your life is a dream... don't wake up the dreamer... [Verse 1] nightmares trying to get out even though they're not (allowed) from under the dark surface fulfilling a dark purpose behind the mirror of reality echoes of fading sanity (sanity) (sanity) [Chorus] if your life is a dream don't wake up the dreamer it pulls me in deeper and deeper (deeper) (and deeper) [Verse 2] don't know what's real the places I go more and more surreal paths won't show (shadows) that won't reveal haunting whispers from everywhere turning on the light but they're still there lurking out of sight [Bridge] echoes of my dreams fading in fading out nothing like it seems from under the lake (distant screams) [Chorus] if your life is a dream don't wake up the dreamer it pulls me in deeper and deeper (deeper) (and deeper) [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] if your life is a dream don't wake up the dreamer it pulls me in deeper and deeper (deeper) (and deeper) [Verse 3] rising from the depths a nightmare manifests darkness breaking through replacing me and you (me and you) the dreamer was dreaming again reality and dreams shifting within I can feel the darkness under my skin (my skin) your not allowed into the lake until he says otherwise slowly I start to realize it's not a lake (it's an ocean) [Chorus] if your life is a dream don't wake up the dreamer it pulls me in deeper and deeper (deeper) (and deeper) [Instrumental Outro]
