Requiem for a Dream

What do you see?
 Is it your own reflection that's staring at you?
 An out-of-body perception?
 Or some kind of stranger that laughs at a fool?
 Is it the world that has changed?
 Or is it you at the sound of the knell?
 And how did they fail to prepare you
 For all that awaits once you're out of your shell?
 Oh oh
 Feel the cold breeze in your face
 Walk on, one way
 End of days
 Time to face what it's all about
 May the waves take you in
 A long way from home
 You're out on your own
 To crave all alone and alone you'll realize
 What life turns out to be...
 Future ain't what it used to be
 When all givens they fall into abeyance
 Fall into abeyance
 Let it all wash over me
 Requiem for a dream
 ♪
 How long have we stayed in concealment
 Chilled to the marrow, crept stealthily?
 Celestial lights satiating the dark
 Of deplorable reality
 Every breath towards what shone with a lustre
 Horizons that sentineled dreams
 Now doesn't it even seem crazy
 To be aghast at what things will not be
 Oh oh
 See the rainbow slowly fade
 Walk on, one way
 End of days...
 Time to face what it's all about
 May the waves take you in
 A long way from home
 You're out on your own
 To crave all alone and alone you'll realize
 What life turns out to be...
 Future ain't what it used to be
 Fall into abeyance
 Fall into abeyance
 Let it all wash over me

 There's someone by your side
 Four steps behind
 Make sure you keep the pace
 And love the grind
