Lorie was a girl who built up all her world out of nothing
She's got a bright mind and a smile but something in her eyes is fading
She thought she could escape from the things in life she was afraid of
She'd rather take a run than to take a quiet walk in the sun

Waking up from a dream
That wasn't quite what it seemed
Waking up to begin
A life out' this sunken dream

She always tried to find a reason to deny the real thing
Cause something in her mind has been locked from behind for ages
She built a castle in the sky but a dreadful hollow sound became so loud
That she couldn't hear a word from the friends who came around to save her

Waking up from a dream
That wasn't quite what it seemed
Waking up to begin
A life out of this sunken dream
Waking up from a dream

She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind

Waking up from a dream
That wasn't quite what it seemed
Waking up to begin
A life out this sunken dream
Waking up
Waking up from a dream, a dream
