A Sanguine Dream
[Verse 1]
Light a candle in the window
Leave a fog upon the glass
Gaze into your faded memory
Cast a shadow on your past

[Verse 2]
I'm drained of passion
And stripped of joy
Set for failure from the outset
Familiar spaces, familiar faces
A sanguine dream that never was

[Chorus]
It's a story of my life (A sanguine dream)
We learn to live a lie (A nightmare never seen)
The secrets lost in time (A due return)
Will always haunt our minds (Now watch me crash and burn)

[Verse 3]
A transformation of the conscience
Disfiguration of the soul
An all-too-ordinary circumstance
Complеte submission of control
[Verse 4]
It's a cold and bitter story
Lost in an ocean of rеgret
With a weight of guilt to carry
It pulls me to the depths

[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe defiance
A glimpse of truth
Have to redefine the enemy
Remove the glass of colored rose
And see the sanguine dream
A dream that never was

[Chorus]
It's a story of my life (A sanguine dream)
We learn to live a lie (A nightmare never seen)
I'm always lost and on the run
With no recourse and no direction
But still my past comes back to haunt me
And you're never letting me forget it

[Keyboard Solo]

[Bridge]
Light a candle in the window
Leave a fog upon the glass
See beyond your faded memory
Cast a shadow on your past
Hear an echo in the silence
A dream that never was
A dream that never was
[Chorus]
It's a story of my life (A sanguine dream)
We learn to live a lie (A nightmare never seen)
The secrets lost in time (A due return)
Will always haunt our minds (Now watch me crash and burn)
