Haven't seen the light of day Since God knows when Couldn't force a smile even if I tried My heart is empty And my bones won't mend Feels like the river's running dry And I keep on dreaming of The day I die Where I escape the darkness In my own mind It's like a mental funeral Something beautiful I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of The day I die And I don't wanna wake up Melancholy creeps in like a thief in the night Resentment tries to have its day I know I'm just another dog in their fight Feeding on the scraps of my mistakes And I keep on dreaming of The day I die Where I escape the darkness In my own mind A mental funeral Something beautiful I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of The day I die And I don't wanna wake up And I don't wanna wake up And I don't wanna wake up I keep on dreaming I keep on dreaming I keep on dreaming I keep on dreaming And I keep on dreaming of The day I die Where I escape the darkness In my own mind It's like a mental funeral Something beautiful I wanna stay but I know I gotta let it go I keep on dreaming of The day I die And I don't wanna wake up And I don't wanna wake up I don't wanna wake up
