Lives Unlived from Cancerbloom by HVRT

In the haze of dawn's first light
We chase the shadows into the night
’Cause we’re just footnotes in a story wide and vast
Dreaming away, in life's play we are miscast

We drift in the in-between
Leaning on futures never seen
Building castles in the sky
Dreaming away our life and wondering why
In current’s idle thoughts
In nets of apathy we’re caught
Promises we whisper soft
In dreams, where we aloft but never take off

We sleep
Just sleep

We live and thrive in tales untold
Bleeding from dreams we never hold
And so we are just shadows in the vast expanse
In the grand design of lives unlived, we’re left to chance

The treadmill is running run on
From dusk until the break of dawn
Illusions of success we spawn
In mirror's gaze, we’re drawn but never take form
Consume but never contribute
Entangled in the web of woe
The seeds of greatness never sown
In dreams we drown, alone and stripped to the bone

We dream
Just dream

We try to paint the skies unseen
Scheming in lives that could have been
Lay down your weary head, dream on until you’re gone
In the grand design of lives unlived, we are but pawns
