So Far Away

Do you realize the dreams that I feel 

is it plastic or is it cosmically real 

can't seem to get by this pain 

in a world of sunshine I am left in the rain 

down down I go and I can't stop 

that boulder rolls down when I am at the top 

I must pay for my sins and I do it everyday 

but what I am wondering is when I don't have to pay .....anymore

you got your pound of flesh and now I'm reeling away 

you have to put it to me day after day 

in the end I hope that it wasn't too much 

all I ever wanted was to feel your touch 

in the mirror I see the end coming near 

everyday it gets a little more I fear 

there is still time left and I don't want to quit 

taking pain for gain don't bother me a bit 

so in the essence of your mind 

do you always have to be so unkind 

I know that deep in your heart you love me anyway 

I've paid my price what more can I say 

so if you ever find it in your heart 

to let me off the hook 

all you have to do is 

take a second look 

the end will come and you will feel empty inside 

all you had to do was put down your foolish pride 

my door is open and I am still always here 

until then I'll think i'll have another beer.
