This is a song I wrote a while ago that I just found again. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Infinite Dreamer.

I never know when I'm in a dream,
It's as if I'm in a reality,
I fail to wake myself, I'm cold as I weep,
Is this why I feel to scared to sleep,

Hold Onto The Dream, and don't let it fade,
Grasping The Air, as I wake from the daze,
The tunnel entrances, as I look to the light,
Theres no-one to wake me, or hold me tight,

The knife cannot kill me, what does it mean,
Is this a feeling, is it a dream,
Am I asleep now, and When Can I wake,
How to raise my body, is it worth the pain that it takes?

I'm trying to wake, but I just can't respond,
It tightens its grip and, I just can't hold on,
Depression Is Mounting, it's killing my mind,
For the dream can't be beaten, there is no flaw to find,

Am I an infinite dreamer, or am I just scared,
that the nightmare consumes a man, who's so unaware,
Am I an infinite dreamer, with nothing to feel,
Just a soul caught in a chamber, as the air vents are sealed?

Finally wakened, theres a gun in my hand,
I'm past desperation, so I'm leaving this land,
If there isn't an ending, then how could I care,
There aren't any pills, that could make me aware,

Now I am asking, how can I be alive,
Is there a reason why, I have to survive,
I see greying shadows, and then they are gone,
The body's moving no longer, but the brains working on,

If I couldn't save me, then nobody could,
It isn't worth trying, if anyone would,
nobody is listening, but that is alright,
they'll feel the terror, when they switch on the lights,

You cannot see it, neither could I,
It slowly consumes you, it won't let you die,
You went into the chamber, and now everything's true
you feel like infinite dreaming, Because the dream has got you too

Somnium Dulcis.

It's really good and you can feel the beat so don't change it too much

I have to say though that some of the lines need to be shortened some so they fit.

i.e.: How to raise my body, Is it worth the pain that it takes. It might sound better as How to raise my body, Is it worth all the pain.

The same could be said for Just a soul in a chamber as air vents are sealed. You might want to shorten that to something simpler.

Overall, I give it a thumbs up, it'll be perfect after some minor changes are made. Good work! :shock: (I love that face)

ie an'tce eakspe igpe atinle!!
the first legal high is spinning around!!
