lyrics

With a mind overflowing
And reality withholding
Like a dam wall that's growing
Insurmountably

And my dreams and my hopes
Are all that I hold
Like a child who is praying
To be saved

As the dreams slowly warp
And align to what we're taught
As we force all our thoughts
Into molds

And the dam wall keeps growing
For all the dreams it's withholding
And the mud in the floodplain
Cracks in the sun

Oh the soil is not nurtured
And those dreams are not planted
As reality continues to build

And time is not kind
As the dreams drown and die
Behind that retaining wall of shame

I looked in your eyes
I could see just how dry
Your floodplain of dreams
Lies empty

And in that barren dust
Your lust for life is lost
And all that you feel
Are your wasted days

And time is relentless
An unforgiving mistress
Who dispenses the consequence
With tedious certainty

I thank god we have each other
To nurture and recover
And plant our secret seeds
In the floodplain of dreams
