Jared Olojan - When There's Dreaming Lyrics

When the sleeping mask comes off
Sadness will take it's place
Views of a beautiful world
Skewed by my anxious theories
That I will go through pain again
I don't want to leave this bed

Who wants to live when there's dreaming
Who wants to hurt if you lived just by closing your eyes
Who says that living beats dreams by a mile
When I'm dreaming of marrying a beautiful smile
Why would I wake
When my dreams take me away

I could fly from here to there
Or gain superpowers for once
I wish that they would become real
So I could fight the struggles
Of fording the river of fear
Can't my life become more clear

Who wants to live when there's dreaming
Who wants to hurt if you lived just by closing your eyes
Who says that living beats dreams by a mile
When I'm dreaming of marrying a beautiful smile
Why would I wake
When my dreams take me away

Oh, I wake and don't see far
It's made me scared of living
Oh, I fear for everything
There's days when I want to run away

Who wants to live when there's dreaming
Who wants to hurt if you lived just by closing your eyes
Who says that living beats dreams by a mile
When I'm dreaming of marrying a beautiful smile
Why would I wake
When my dreams take me away

I'm not ignorant at all
I know I can't sleep for that long
I need to get up from my bed
And know that I've been made strong
And though this world has brought me pain
Through the struggles and the shame
I can live another day
Even if I stop dreaming away
