Verse 1 The music plays on but I hear not the dulcet tones In my room I stay — I sit, I stare, I slump alone Alone in the darkness, head in hands, I see not what lies ahead I won’t see the danger, won’t hear the creeping dread I say I won’t bow to the fear That scratches at the door I say I won’t break — But I’ve said that before Pre-Chorus (build tension — drums rising) The walls feel closer than they did The air is getting thin If this is just inside my head Then why’s it closing in? Chorus (Heavy / Distorted) Is this reality? Or just another weird dream? Am I awake or buried underneath The glow of a broken screen? Is this reality? Or am I split at the seams? If I scream into the silence Will it swallow me? Or wake me from this weird dream? Verse 2 I sit in my room Oblivious to the world outside Alone in my room While the daylight slowly dies Motionless, zombified in my chair Static flickers — I just stare I sit with an empty stare at the screen Is this real — or just another weird dream? Pre-Chorus 2 (harder, more urgent) I will not submit to the tricks of my mind But it knows every weakness it can find It whispers low, it pulls the thread And unravels what I never said Chorus (Full Power) Is this reality? Or just another weird dream? Am I awake or dissolving In artificial light and steam? Is this reality? Or am I tearing at the seams? If I can’t tell what’s real anymore What does that make me? Just another weird dream? Bridge (Drop → Explode) Slumped there in my underwear No point dressing — no one cares Mid-morning gloom, curtains drawn Another day already gone I ponder, I wander, cogs misfire Thoughts burn slow but never tire The answers were there all along — But the questions were wrong Maybe I’ve just lost the plot. (beat drop — quiet) Or maybe… There never was one. Final Chorus (Bigger / Rawer) Is this reality? Or just another weird dream? If I pull at my skin will I wake up Or rip apart the seams? Is this reality? Tell me what it means If I fade into the silence Do I disappear? Or wake from the weird dream?
