It’s All Just a Dream

Sometimes I avoid the mirror
'Cause reflection never lies
A mirror doesn't concern itself
With showing you what isn't true
Loves I knew before you
Were tragedies wrapped up in disguise
Lies that sounded so beautifully
I swear that they were true

And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream
And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream

I'm drinkin' my insides raisin dry
Tryna keep you off my mind
Bury all this pain and all this hurt
With a bottle of whiskey in the dirt
Mommy and daddy, you've been good to me
Please forgive me, this is not your fault
Lately I've grown so tired
The only thing left to do is rest

And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream
And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream

If it's all just a dream, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream
And like a star, I wanna burn it up
And fade away and turn to dust
Nothing ever is what it seems
It was all just a dream

Now I wanna be like the Moon
The way it shines beautifully in the darkness
I want to be cool, blue light, you know?
Protective and shy with my presence
A lighthouse to guide and navigate you through the chaos
No matter how broken you feel
No matter how tired your soul becomes
There's a light that will never fade away
We all face those fevers and mirrors
Whatever ails you or oppresses you
The key is not to stay in suffering
The suffering is a setup
But stay for the glory that's coming
You have to walk by faith and not by sight
And with our tiny measurements of space and time
We discover that the appearance of things
Changes according to our emotions
And thus, we see the magic and beauty
But the reality is that the magic and beauty is you
