Inside my lonely dreams, I seek out a distant solace.
It’s so far out of reach that no amount of will can help.
I don’t know why I continue longing for an absent peace,
An echo within endless nights, reveries,
And all the world before my eyes.

Come on, tell me, someone tell me,
Why is it that I can’t find myself within the dark
Or the waking world outside me
Where starlight now proceeds to fade?

A song within my head: does it hold some significance now?
Observing memories, can I be here or not?
In my doubting ways, I’ve made my life so difficult, it seems;
I know it’s true and I cannot find happiness
In my blood or in my tears.

Come on, tell me, someone tell me,
Why can I not find myself in wishes or in dreams?
Am I stupid or just crazy?
Will anyone tell me I’m sane?

I don’t know why I am screaming in the night
Or why I am lost within dreams of a plight
Of hating myself for being
Another speck of desert sand.

Can you tell me? Someone tell me
Am I supposed to be alone in nightly dreams?
Come on, tell me, why I’ve gone mad
For wanting so much out of life.
