Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've got a lot of thoughts Got a lot of plans I lost a lot of sleep Trying to understand I could dream all day In a blackened room Staring into space Underneath a thousand blankets Just to find a place Where everything is reachable Imagining is safe I tried to make it so I didn't even know I could dream all day I dreamt I was awake My mouth was colored grey As the world revolved around me I could only say I could dream all day
