Chasing stars in the darkest night
Wrapped in dreams so pure and bright
But shadows whisper illusions break
In the maze of life a cruel mistake
Oh the dream was a phantom now I starve in its wake
In the echoes of what could be I ache
Selling my soul to a fading flame
In this labyrinth of shattered hopes I find no claim to fame
I wove my tales in threads of gold
But the tapestry of dreams grew cold
Each stitch unraveling each knot undone
In the gallery of dreams I'm the only one
Oh the dream was a mirage now I thirst for truth
In the desert of broken promises I search for proof
Trading my essence for a fleeting glance
In this carnival of illusions I never stood a chance
The mask I wore now cracks with time
A performance staged a pantomime
The script I penned now fades to grey
In the wings of destiny I'm left to sway
Oh the dream was a whisper now I'm deaf to its call
In the silence of shattered illusions I stall
Bartering my essence for a fleeting dance
In this masquerade of fate I take my stance
But from the ashes a phoenix shall rise
In the embers of despair a new sunrise
For though the dream was a ghost I'll find my way
In the symphony of life a new melody will play
