It goes away, I feel, I see
How all the dreams just go away
Disappearing in the dark
As if they never happened.
Now shattered glass, you used to be so beautiful,
You brought me so much joy
And so much pain—you’ve had me
Drink your poison.
Those dreams of mine,
Please rest in peace.
The killer dreams—you tried to bring me down,
But I fought back, so now you lie in pieces.
Perhaps in just a week or so,
I may not even know
What the heck was all this fuss about,
I’ve seen this before, it simply works this way.
Those dreams of mine,
Please rest in peace.
The killer dreams—you tried to bring me down,
But I fought back, so now you lie in pieces.
The pressure levels drop so fast,
There are moments I even get distracted
And don’t think about her at all.
So far just seconds, but it’s new.
What used to fire me up at first
And then to punish me with sorrow
Has now become a funny joke
To fill my mind with laughter.
Those dreams of mine,
Please rest in peace.
The killer dreams—you tried to bring me down,
But I fought back, so now you lie in pieces.
I’ll now become so calm and so content
Or maybe empty—like drunk dry.
It’s either love decreased to reason,
Or reason all alone—and I’ll know soon.
Let’s just accept it—you didn’t stand a chance,
Not realized, ambushed and haunted me,
But I’m too tough to let my own creation
Take over—no, you had your verdict then.
Those dreams of mine,
Please rest in peace.
The killer dreams—you tried to bring me down,
But I fought back, so now you lie in pieces.
So here I stand, so proud and devastated,
And say farewell and watch you disappear.
It’s such a shame you had to die in vain,
But then, your fate—it’s not your call to make.
Those dreams of mine,
Please rest in peace.
The killer dreams—you tried to bring me down,
But I fought back, so now you lie in pieces.
