Painted Dreams

Amid the cold and the violet sky Visions of our future pass me by And slip away from our grasp As I accept the truth at last You say your path is walked alone There isn't any hope in home This masquerade of loneliness You project to keep your emotions close And protect You are my Painted Dream A hope, a thought that will never be more than just a scene This paint can't bring illusions to life What's left are stale images with no light This nightmare of hues can't escape my mind Impressions of a peace I just cannot find It's like disease without a remedy Engulfed in pigments of perplexity The grief of loneliness burns my soul But that's the cost to pass this toll This drawn out road not knowing where we go Ends the dreams in diverging paths And tears flow You are my Painted Dream A hope, a thought that will never be more than just a scene This paint can't bring illusions to life What's left are stale images with no light Why can't we live in a Painted Dream Where this wish, my love, is what it seems All I'm left with is the harsh reality That you'll never choose to be with me All I need is You are my Painted Dream A hope, a thought that will never be more than just a scene This paint can't bring illusions to life What's left are stale images with no light
