Reality is such a buzzkill
It always brings me down
Don’t wanna know what’s going on
It all just makes me frown
Just wanna retreat
Hide in my room
Safe in my womb
Welcome to the land of dreams
Fal-la-la-la, fal-la-la-la
Welcome to the land of dreams
Fal-la-la-la, fal-la-la-la
I feel like I am safe here
No need to go outside
Got all I want and all I need
A perfect place to hide
Keep to my own
Turn off the phone
The real world is such a downer
Everyone acts like jerks
Life in my dream is perfect
With all its perfect perks
Outside it is frightening
Lookin’ like the end of days
But in my dreams I’m dancing
Everyone’s happy always
Don’t wanna wake
Before daybreak
