My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare

Sonata Arctica - My Dream's But a Drop of Fuel For a Nightmare

My painted face
I'm a clown
and I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare
fade away
I'm asleep
not too deep...

The walls of night
have left me scarred
the broken glass
I stepped on, twice
the ardent spirits'
rusty edge, decapitate me...

I can't sleep
fear darkness
go through the motions, did I fall asleep?
I'm bowling
the old nine pin, a sign unwanted...

Now I'm a target
I'm hot and frozen
stormy rain I'm stuck in an elevator
wet from the muddy water
breathing hot air, winds convey me...

bababababaaaa...
the number talks and I cry in my own Hell....
bababababaaaa...
Wide awake, I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost

I'm skating with a seal
the tarantula, the fly, the broken ring
the dusty little flea
an ugly giant
a disappointed child

here comes a rabid snake
the broken violin, a wild ballet
Shakespeare and company
refuse to kill the kitten scratching me...

I'm falling
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling... - awake

You know, if you believe the dreams
the nightly visions, worlds entwined
then you also fear your shadow
paranoia, part two...

All the good / things in my life dwell / in my mind
Took a wrong lane, every day, I hear myself / say
Sickening's this feeling, my life, my hopes, my dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare

they all turn out the same
My destiny, my flame
believing is control?
no
the painting comes alive
takes me inside a world without a name
a place beyond compare

Believe the dreams
that let you sleep
the broken glass
you need to sweep
The book you read
if you found an explanation
to help you in any way
you are your own prison

Woke up today; the good and the bad and the ugly dreams are gone
...jumped off the carousel

bababababaaaa...
