Tainted Dreams


I'm known to be a dreamer, It's my way of sanctuary but surrounded by closed minds, Made me less a believer I am a dreamer, but darkness shrouds me Storms my mind until my memory Is washed away With broken fragments remain, Darkness covers my eyes So I cannot see, I may be a dreamer But the nightmare is me A bullet to the head Is how I blew my mind Releasing all the evil Out on a few lines Confused with entities Attacked by serenity A war with myself Heaven versus hell I may be a dreamer, Because I wanna see better But I'm not a believer So happiness sends a good bye letter At the backs of these ropes Drugs and alcohol may cope I may be high in clouds But I am not no dope I am a dreamer, And it is time to act Wash away all this crap Just to get my soul back For finding peace within Is where happiness begins I am a dreamer This war I WILL WIN Never give up never let up Never bow down never surrender I AM A DREAMER Me and myself together NO MATTER HOW HARD THINGS GET FROM END OR START I am a dreamer, I will fight with my heart ~RiKaN
