Lyrics[edit | edit source]
my daydream seems as one inside of you
though it seems hard to reach through this light
your blue and hopeless light
my daydream screams 'bitter 'til the end'
the love i share, true
but selfish to the heart
my heart, my sacred heart
my daydream
dream
my daydream
my daydream
dream
my daydream
