a dream like that

The story started from a flash

With a notebook and a pen, sitting on the bed

A casual sentence came with the melody

The rest just flowed out like magic

Collected words that looked strange

And unique feelings of that age

All the classmates knew I was fanatic

The songs depicted my beautiful tragic

'Maybe I could be a big star'

It was a dream like that

Of a wide-eyed brat

I built a castle upon the wasteland

Without noticing all the signs of crumbling down

But I was so happy in a crown

I watched some peers releasing records

Live performed and made their voices heard

While I was striving for the scores

And my legs would shake on the floor

I threw myself into a nightmare

Before the so-called greatest exam

It wasn't dawn that greeted me home

But shots in the dark straight to my bones

'Maybe I should give up'

It was a dream like that

Of a prideful man

Belittled hope surrounded the wasteland

Without noticing all the bricks to tear and fall down

But I was still happy

When I could leave my prints like that

And seek my soul like that

To externalize what can't be said

And help kindness spread

Took me years to know it's never in my blood

I'm not allowed to be, I cannot be someone like that

Nothing really matters, just some growing pain

Doesn't mean it's all in vain for a life like that

My heart is on display

It remembers the names

Of every touch and spark that has waken the wasteland

It's never given up

(Cuz it's a dream like that)

Maybe this could...

No this was the very start

It's just a dream like that

Of a wide-eyed brat

Who built a castle upon a dreamland

Without worrying about the chance of crumbling down

All this time, I'm so happy

I can see it shine when you're looking at me now
