Thread: "Awake" Lyrics

I'm producing songs on a professional studio basis for a few years now and since I got into lucid dreaming, I always wanted to sort of get that in, because I feel there are way not enough songs about this. Maybe that's good that way, but I thought I might try to also have a shot at writing a songtext.
No actual song for this yet because I'm a horrid singer and I ain't got a singer on my hands now, but I hope I can turn this one into a song somewhen. I didn't want to hit the nail on the head right away but rather have some thought into the topic of this so it isn't so obvious, just because I don't like lyrics where the topic is dead obvious.

Awake

I was far away tonight
though I didn't leave my room
closed eyes with a further sight
I promise you

I went a mile but didn't move
but I was active through the pause
You can feel sensations, too
once you're in you can't get out


I am running but my legs won't start to hurt
You may be talking but you'll remain unheard
My eyes are shut but I can still see more
I may be screaming but my throat will not get sore


I saw worlds be swept away
Although I never moved a bone
Nothing leads me to disgrace
Listen up son

I went a year but didn't move
time flew by without me in
I know you want to feel it, too
Just recall what's never been


I am running but my legs won't start to hurt
You may be talking but you'll remain unheard
My eyes are shut but I can still see more
I may be screaming but my throat will not get sore

It's all inside you
all behind us
only you know
what to say

All beyond you
In between your
open eyes
and the brief reality

I am running but my legs won't start to hurt
You may be talking but you'll remain unheard
My eyes are shut but I can still see more
I may be screaming but my throat will not get sore
