Caught somewhere between
Daydreams and nightmares
Fantasy, reality, thoughts, memories
All intertwined in a single moment

What if we’re all the center of the universe
And everyone else — and everything else
Only exists in the depths of our imagination
What if we’re a dream waiting to be dreamt

Doors, windows, stairs, mirrors
Portals leading to other worlds
There’s a whole world out there
Or is there? Maybe this is the world

The mind wanders through its maze
Traveling through inner and outer space
When the little stories play in our heads
How many other people are watching?
