Flying

I once dreamed I was flying,

In a circle round and round.

Wasn't going anywhere,

Because there was nowhere to be found.

The world had collapsed,

And had completely shrunken down.

I once dreamed I was flying.

I once dreamed I was swimming,

And I couldn't come up for air.

Surrounded by a pressure,

That could have been despair.

Couldn't tell top from bottom,

And maybe I didn't care.

I once dreamed I was swimming.

I once dreamed I was living,

In a life better than my own.

Smiling with a lover,

With a happiness that's unknown.

And still I felt trapped,

Because it wasn't something I condoned.

I once dreamed I was living.

I once dreamed I was dying,

Still I'm not sure why.

Like I had fallen to the ground,

From way up in the sky.

Saw a new part of the world,

That never existed otherwise.

I once dreamed I was dying.

I once dreamed I was flying.
