Mind Over Matter
Diary of Dreams Lyrics

A torch in your darkness will guide you the way
Even amidst confusion and despair, there is a guiding light that illuminates the way to salvation.

while dozens of others pretend to be free
So many people act as if they are liberated, yet they are still belittled or oppressed by society's norms.

Obscure limitations put the boundaries at stake
Ambiguous obstacles blur the line between possible and impossible, raising the risk of failure.

I know there is more than we can see
There exists a grander scheme that lies beyond our narrow, human perspectives.

This is my aggravation
I am acutely aware of my annoyance and frustration, and it consumes my thoughts.

A simple cause
This irritation is rooted in a single, uncomplicated origin.

I come here to flee from you
I seek refuge from another person's influence or presence, hoping to distance myself from them.

I come here to free my guilt
I visit this place to alleviate the burden of my shame and remorse, and to experience liberation.

This is my alibi
This is the reason for my actions, the explanation I would give in defense of them.

My secret inferno
The burning passion and emotion that resides inside of me, locked away from the outside world.

And this is the world I hide
This place is where I conceal my true self, where I feel most comfortable being myself.

My place to recover
I come here for healing and rejuvenation, to escape from the stresses of everyday life.

I'd carry this burden on your behalf
I am willing to shoulder the weight of your troubles, sharing your load so you don't have to suffer alone.

Corrupted integrity
My moral fiber and conscience have become compromised, leading me down a path of dishonesty and deceit.

Inexistent identity
I lack a clear sense of self or purpose, struggling to find meaning in my life and place in the world.

So hard to believe
It is difficult to accept or comprehend what I have seen or experienced.

what I had to witness
The traumatic event or discovery that left such a profound impact on me.

what I'm supposed to forget
Despite my desire to leave the past behind, some memories are too painful to erase entirely.

to forgive and forget
I must learn to let go of my anger and resentment, and embrace forgiveness and redemption.

Underneath your ruins I'm buried
Beneath the collapsed structures of your life, I am deeply entwined in the wreckage, perhaps bearing some responsibility for the destruction.

My endless source of despair
The sense of hopelessness and sadness that plagues me seems to never dissipate, lingering like a dark cloud over my life.

A shelter I cannot share
This sanctuary that has kept me safe and made me whole is too precious to risk exposing to others, so I keep it hidden and locked away.

So i can return to your world with a cynical smile
After retreating to my own world of self-protection, I can laugh wryly at the world's harshness and pain, knowing that I am somewhat shielded from it.

I swear it is true
I am promising you with all my sincerity that what I am saying is honest and accurate.

Invisible scars prove me right
The hidden wounds and scars that have yet to heal are evidence of my veracity.

I'd be your abettor
I would unhesitatingly support your decisions or actions, even if they are morally questionable or illegal.

Please take me with you
I am asking to come along with you, hoping to stay by your side and provide comfort and support when you need it most.
