The Dark Dreams

I keep having this mysterious dream
Where I’m walking alone in the dark
It’s cold and vastly empty where I am
Alas, I recognize my soul’s trademark

In this vapid and empty dream
I sense a figure standing in the dark
And even though I can’t see you
I know, I know who you are

Do you dream of me?
Why should you dream of me?
This can’t be a one-sided affair
There’s got to be a purpose in the dark
Otherwise, there’s no reason to care

You’re the one I’ve been chasing
But I can’t seem to catch you
You’re always too far out of reach
And I don’t know what to do!

I’m tired of this nightmare
Brought on by the moon
Because it only serves to remind me
There’s no hope I’ll ever find you

Do you dream of me?
Why would you dream of me?
This can’t be a one-sided affair
There’s got to be a purpose in the dark
Otherwise, there’s no reason to care

God, if I had just one wish
I’d wish to write my own dream
One in which I finally meet you
To me, there’s no better scheme

In this dream, a light would appear
You’d be there, looking at me
I would finally see your face
And I would never awake from this dream

Do you dream of me?
Why won’t you dream of me?
This can’t be a one-sided affair
There’s got to be a purpose in the dark
Otherwise, there’s no reason to care

I’d finally be close to you
In this expanding warmth of light
I’d touch your hands with mine
And everything would finally be alright

But I know I’ll never get that chance
So into the darkness I go
Because even in darkness
A faceless you offers hope

Do you dream of me?
I know you won’t dream of me
I guess this is a one-sided affair
There’s got to be a purpose in the dark
Otherwise, there’s no reason to care

Otherwise, otherwise, there’s only more dreaming to fear
