You started staring at the walls again
And the pictures turned back into empty frames
Your sense will go before your looks leave you
And in time the ones you love will all leave too

No, dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young
You lost your way and you couldn't overcome
The times you'd hide what's been building up inside
Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young

And I followed you for miles through foreign sights
To the hose where all your demons came to life
And I saw fear and innocence in children's eyes
Then your face changed and I ran back into the night

No, dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young
You lost your way and you couldn't overcome
The times you'd hide what's been building up inside
Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young

I saw the colors drained from your veins through the teeth of leeches

Dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young
You lost your way and you couldn't overcome
The times you'd hide what's been building up inside
Cause dreams aren't how they seemed when you were young
No they're not what they used to be
