Our reality is all a dream Someone in another dimension is dreaming our existence She dreams of the life we have He dreams of the decisions we make They dream how it all plays out Once they wake up we all die We are all just minutes in an hourglass One thought One dream It's over The dreams we have, The future we want, Are all equally unattainable We must sit back and watch As we are controlled like puppets Until the future is in the distant past Til our life eats us alive Until the puppet master frees our souls And we're regurgitated into faraway thoughts
