Life's a Dream Lyrics

Miles 'til dawn
but it feels so dark 'til then
Drowns you out
but you can't be too certain
Common wants
only fill me up with need
Everybody in this world is just like me
So what
Grow on

Sounds like fear
Thinking there might be a cure
Waste your life
but you don't know what it's worth
Comb your mind
for all the treasures of this earth
Too close to find
anything outside yourself
So what
Grow on

Life ain't nothin' but a dream
Realistic as it seems

Destiny’s vulgar
So I might as well resist
Out of the darkness
And all the secrets still exist
Finally decided
And by decide I mean accept
I don’t need all of those
Other chances I would get
So what
Grow on

Life ain't nothin' but a dream
Realistic as it seems

no big deal, but i heard a couple minor errors:

"but you don't know WHAT it's worth"

"anything OUTside yourself"

this song leaves me speechless. it says so much; what do i need to add? truly beautiful.
