Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt
The future is the past
But you don't know how...?
A reflected dream
Of a captured time
Is it really now? Is it really happening?
[Verse 2]
Don't know why I feel this way
Have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face
Seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind
[Verse 3]
All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination?
I just can't take no more
[Verse 4]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
[Verse 5]
Think I've heard your voice before
Think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream?
Is this a new reality?
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind
[Verse 6]
All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Coming to the realisation
That I can't see for sure
[Verse 7]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 8]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 9]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
[Verse 10]
I get up, put on the light
Dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
[Verse 11]
Nothing that I contemplate
Nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head
[Verse 12]
Dread to think what might be stirring
That my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting
Saving me from myself
[Verse 13]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 14]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 15]
Lost—in a dream of mirrors
Lost—in a paradox
Lost—and time is spinning
Lost—a nightmare I retrace
[Verse 16]
Lost—a hell that I revisit
Lost—another time and place
Lost—a parallel existence
Lost—a nightmare I retrace
[Verse 17]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 18]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 19]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 20]
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself
[Verse 21]
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
