🎸 A Dream Within a Dream — Rock Song Lyrics (Verse 1) I stand upon the shoreline As the daylight starts to bleed Every truth I thought I carried Falls like sand beneath my feet You whisper, “All is fleeting” But I still reach out my hand Trying to hold the moment steady As it slips like shattered glass (Pre-Chorus) The harder that I clutch it The faster it escapes I’m chasing after shadows Of a life I can’t retrace (Chorus) Is this real, or am I screaming In a dream within a dream? Every memory dissolving Like it’s tearing at the seams If the world is just an echo Of the things it used to be Tell me why I’m still believing In a dream within a dream (Verse 2) You fade into the twilight Like a face inside a wave I try to hold your image But there’s nothing left to save These fragments of a moment Cut me deeper when they fall I’m drowning in illusions That I never asked for at all (Pre-Chorus) The more that I remember The more I lose the fight I’m reaching for the morning In a never-ending night (Chorus) Is this real, or am I screaming In a dream within a dream? Every memory dissolving Like it’s tearing at the seams If the world is just an echo Of the things it used to be Tell me why I’m still believing In a dream within a dream (Bridge) Break the spell Let me wake From this world I didn’t make Hold the sand In my hand Watch it fall like stolen fate If my life Is just a lie Wrapped in silver, dressed in grief Let me fall Let me crawl To the edge of what’s believed (Final Chorus) Is this real, or am I screaming In a dream within a dream? All the colors turning hollow In the dying of the gleam If the truth is only shadows Where the light used to be seen Then I’ll burn my way to waking From this dream within a dream
