Imaginary

By Evanescence

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they're falling tell a story

In my feild of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos- your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nitemare I built my own world to escape

In my feild of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up by the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

When I first heard this song it was like Yeah! Finally somebody put into words what it feels like to rely on escapism when day to day reality is too awful to take. That in order to not lose oneself in that reality a person would imagine themselves as anything else but swallowed into thier environment. And in my imaginings I was anywhere else but there.
