[00:06.20]Through the corridors of sleep
[00:07.79]Past the shadows dark and deep
[00:10.28]My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
[00:14.88]I don't know what is real,
[00:16.76]I can't touch what I feel
[00:19.03]And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
[00:23.68]So I'll continue to continue to pretend
[00:31.00]My life will never end,
[00:35.25]And flowers never bend
[00:39.29]With the rainfall.
[00:43.79]The mirror on my wall
[00:45.25]Casts an image dark and small
[00:47.41]But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
[00:51.96]I am blinded by the light
[00:53.89]Of God and truth and right
[00:56.26]And I wander in the night without direction.
[01:00.82]So I'll continue to continue to pretend
[01:08.02]My life will never end,
[01:11.86]And flowers never bend
[01:16.26]With the rainfall.
[01:20.51]It's no matter if you're born
[01:22.13]To play the King or pawn
[01:24.20]For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
[01:29.17]So my fantasy
[01:31.18]Becomes reality,
[01:33.05]And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
[01:37.70]So I'll continue to continue to pretend
[01:44.67]My life will never end,
[01:49.02]And flowers never bend
[01:52.87]With the rainfall.
