Living life
In a self-constructed heaven.
Seeing the world
Through eyes that do not focus.
Reality has shunned you,
But here there are no scars.
Here behind your eyelids
There is only what you want.
You can be whatever
Hampered only by imagination.
So fight for a cause
Fall in love
Be the hero of your daydreams.
Caress your intangible husband,
Who took your unlost virginity.
Swear undying love.
Croon softly to your friends
Who agree with all you say
And plan their lives around yours.
Who can define reality?
Why live in an imperfect world?
Rocking back and forth
In your white strait jacket.
Nothing is real
That you do not like
Or cannot overcome
Or at least lets you die nobly.
Real tears on a real face
From eyes that see only illusions
And mourn the loss of what never was.
Absolute control
Is a high no drug can recreate.
So sing softly to people
That no one else can see
Alone in your padded room.
