Title:
“Dreams Within a Shadow”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] Waking life is just a [G] dream,
[Dm] Caught in the web of a [E] silent scream.
[Am] Shadows dancing on the [G] walls,
[Dm] Echoing the mind’s [E] ethereal halls.
(Chorus)
[F] Dreams within a [C] shadow,
[G] Thoughts too deep to [Am] fathom.
[F] Lost in the labyrinth of the [C] mind,
[G] Searching for what we can’t [Am] find.
(Verse 2)
[Am] Fear is just a [G] figment,
[Dm] Of the psyche’s intricate [E] segment.
[Am] Love is but a [G] complex code,
[Dm] Deciphered in the heart’s [E] humble abode.
(Chorus)
[F] Dreams within a [C] shadow,
[G] Emotions too wild to [Am] tame.
[F] Trapped in the theater of the [C] brain,
[G] Playing a never-ending [Am] game.
Bridge:
[D] Delving deep into [Am] subdued psychology,
[C] Unraveling the mystery of our [G] deep-seated ideology.
(Chorus)
[F] Dreams within a [C] shadow,
[G] A testament of the [Am] human saga.
[F] Wandering through realms [C] unseen,
[G] In the vast cosmos of the [Am] cognitive scene.
