Dreams Can Scar

Verse 1

A dream can light a dying flame

Or burn the hands that hold it

Give a heart a reason to beat

Then leave it broken when it's over with

Some chase the stars and lose the ground

Some drown beneath their meaning

And some wake up to empty days

With nothing left worth dreaming

Pre-Chorus

Is breathing enough

Is living enough

If your heart says no?

Chorus

I don't want a life that's not mine to live

I don't want a pulse without a reason

I'd rather bleed for something I chose

Than slowly disappear into existence

Dreams can save you

Dreams can scar

They can pull you from the dark

Or become the chains you wear

Long after you've stopped believing

Verse 2

One man's horizon becomes another's storm

A single wish can tear a thousand homes

We build our heavens with trembling hands

Never knowing what they'll cost

And when the dream has lost its name

When all that's left is silence

There's still an ember underneath

Refusing to surrender hope

Pre-Chorus 2

You can bury the fire

You can turn away

But something inside you

Still remembers its shape

Chorus

I don't want a life that's only lived

I don't want a pulse without a reason

I'd rather break chasing something that's mine

Than become a ghost of what I could've been

Dreams can save you

Dreams can scar

They can make you who you are

Or leave you standing in the ashes

Bridge

Something I carry

Because it is mine

Even if no one

Remembers it

Let the world call it foolish

Let the heavens call it small

I'd rather choose my own direction

Than never choose at all

Final Chorus

If I have to fall beneath my dream

Then let me fall knowing I was reaching

Dreams can save you

Dreams can scar

They can drag you from the dark

And even when they're gone

Their ashes remain

Outro

Maybe that's what makes us human—

Not that we live...

But that we reach for something

Beyond what life we were given.
