Sonata Arctica - My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare lyrics

My painted face

I'm the clown

And I'm laughing, while my dream

Turns into a nightmare

fade away

I'm asleep, not too deep

The walls of night

Have left me scarred

The broken glass

I stepped on twice

The ardent spirits

Rusty edge decapitate me

I can't sleep, fear darkness

Go through the motions,

Did I fall asleep?

I'm only the old knight being assigned, unwanted

Now I'm the target, I'm hot and frozen

Stormy rain, I'm stuck in an elevator

La la la

Breathing hot, their wings convey me

The number talks and I cry in my own head

What awake? I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost.

I'm skating with a seal

The tarantula, the fly, the broken ring

That dusty little flea (that dusty little flea)

And now that giant disappointed child

Here it comes, the rapid snake (here comes the rapid snake)

The broken violin, the wild ballet

Shakespeare and company

Refuse to kill

The kitten scratching me

Falling, falling...I'm falling,

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling awake

You know, if you believe the dreams

The nightly visions, worlds entwined

Then you also fear your shadow

Around all you're part too

All the good things in my life

Well, in my mind

Took a wrong way

Every day I hear myself say

Seek at least this feeling

My life, my hopes,

my dream's but a drop

of fuel for a nightmare (for a nightmare)

They all turn out the same

My destiny, my flame

Believe in his control, no!

The painting comes alive

Takes me inside a world without a name

A place beyond compare...

[solo]

Believe that dreams that let you sleep

The broken glass, you need to sweep

The book you read

If you found an explanation to help you in anyway

You are your own prisoner!

Hold on, today the good and the bad and the ugly things are gone, jumped off the carousel.

La la la la, la la, la la

La la la la, la la, la la...
