Requiem for a Dream lyrics

What do you see?

Is it your own reflection that's staring at you?

An out-of-body perception?

Or some kind of stranger that laughs at a fool?

Is it the world that has changed?

Or is it you at the sound of the knell?

And how did they fail to prepare you

For all that awaits once you're out of your shell?

Oh oh

Feel the cold breeze in your face

Walk on, one way

End of days

Time to face what it's all about

May the waves take you in

A long way from home

You're out on your own

To crave all alone and alone you'll realize

What life turns out to be...

Future ain't what it used to be

When all givens they fall into abeyance

Fall into abeyance

Let it all wash over me

Requiem for a dream

How long have we stayed in concealment

Chilled to the marrow, crept stealthily?

Celestial lights satiating the dark

Of deplorable reality

Every breath towards what shone with a lustre

Horizons that sentineled dreams

Now doesn't it even seem crazy

To be aghast at what things will not be

Oh oh

See the rainbow slowly fade

Walk on, one way

End of days...

Time to face what it's all about

May the waves take you in

A long way from home

You're out on your own

To crave all alone and alone you'll realize

What life turns out to be...

Future ain't what it used to be

Fall into abeyance

Fall into abeyance

Let it all wash over me

Requiem for a dream

There's someone by your side

Four steps behind

Makes sure you keep the pace

And love the grind

Time to face what it's all about

May the waves take you in

A long way from home

You're out on your own

To crave all alone and alone you'll realize

Future ain't what it used to be

And all givens they fall into abeyance

Fall into abeyance

Let it all wash over me
