>[Intro]

Part of growing up…

>[Musical Interlude]

>[Verse 1]

I looked at old photos on my phone

Looking back on old memories

Smiles of people I don’t even talk to

Maybe I’ll throw a text

But we don’t talk like we use to

>[Pre-Chorus]

You can ask me how I’m doing

But I’m sealed up

I’m sorry if your concerned

But this is how I was taught

>[Chorus]

Memories are my dreams now

And waking up is my is my nightmare

Dreams of things that pass

Memories that bend reality

>[Verse 2]

In reality, I’ve already gone through my favourite dreams

Possibilities that already came to be

Now I’m just laying back

Tears flowing from my eyes

Screaming

“Why did it ever end?!”

No response

Just cold silence

>[Pre-Chorus]

You can ask me how I’m doing

But I’m sealed up

I’m sorry if your concerned

But this is how I was taught

>[Chorus]

Memories are my dreams now

And waking up is my is my nightmare

Dreams of things that pass

Memories that bend reality

>[Verse 3]

I want to fall back asleep

I didn’t want to wake up to reality

Woke up to a man in the mirror

I’m not the kid that dreamt all that

All of it was real, but pasted on

All of it was mine, but now it’s gone

All good memories pass by

And that’s all it is in the end

Just another memory that keeps you up at night.

>[Pre-Chorus]

You can ask me how I’m doing

But I’m sealed up

I’m sorry if your concerned

But this is how I was taught

>[Chorus]

Memories are my dreams now

And waking up is my is my nightmare

Dreams of things that pass

Memories that bend reality

>[Outro-Whispery voice]

Wish I could keep dreaming

But every time I fall asleep

Its just a nightmare before my eyes
