You could say I am afraid, turning quietly to rage Though I speak your language, I'm not immune to bitterness Am I only... A man will put a man down to raise himself up somehow Drink a bottle of bad gin to wash away the symptoms Am I only dreaming, am I only dreaming Am I only... We like leaders with deaf ears, watch my conscience disappear We find fortunes in despair, raise our toast and toast our cheer Am I only dreaming, am I only dreaming Am I only dreaming Don't know how long it's been, we were free from bitterness How long these silent screams, a plea for innocence Am I only dreaming Though we know the righteous way, we live to live the masquerade Am I only dreaming, am I only dreaming Am I only dreaming Don't know how long it's been, we were free from bitterness How long these silent screams, a plea for innocence Don't know how long it's been, we were free from bitterness How long these silent screams, a plea for innocence Am I only dreaming, am I only dreaming Am I only dreaming, am I only dreaming
