She lays awake As the hours escape from her grasp And feels her world dissolve around her Her eyes reveal the pain To an empty glass in her hand
A life built on illusions Upon the dreams laid out before us A life beyond reality Til reveries lay bare their lies
Fading to sleep She tries to hold the moment But feels the weight of her own resentment A moonlit night bathed in gentle radiance She lies in wait for her last deliverance
A life built on illusions Upon the dreams laid out before us A life beyond reality Til reveries lay bare their lies
The evening news Screens another tale of regret As her world unfolds before us An image of her youth Belies the empty glass in her hand
A life built on illusions Upon the dreams laid out before us A life beyond reality Til reveries lay bare their lies
