fugitive of my own fate

clashings of metal doors
dreams hunting for salvation in fear
from familiar smiles to judging eyes
following me from behind
the demons in my rearview mirror

now we're searching every corner
(this time I thought I was only dreaming)
for glimpses of yellows in our eternity of blues
for what it's worth, petty existence of mirth
tears keep blocking my vision
(and they say it's just the universe scheming)

"oh darling, you keep running, yeah you must run"
you ask for help, yet you're the one holding the gun
it ain't the first fight, nor is it your last turn
still you keep dreaming like...

you keep dreaming like -
the lead of a whimsical tale
you keep dreaming like -
happiness this time is here to stay
and you keep dreaming like -
only good will make it out of this wildfire
oh god, why you keep dreaming like
you could ever be something more than a liar
