Trick of the Mind

Did you ever have a dream
So amazingly real
When you reached out to touch things
You knew that you could feel?

Did you ever have a nightmare
Where you woke up with a scream
You're confused at what surrounds you
And you pray it's just a dream

But that's the trick of the mind
And it only happens to the kind
Of people
Brave enough to trust themselves

Just the trick of the mind
A flickering light
A poisonous stranger
On your red-eye flight

So you get back to your job
And everything feels just fine
But you can't help but wonder
How it will be in future times

And you do your best
To try and keep it all straight
But you can't help but wonder
If it's all left up to fate

But that's the trick of the mind
And it only happens to the kind
Of people
Brave enough to trust themselves

Just the trick of the mind
The smoke and mirrors of time
The greatest illusion
Of all man kind

So you kick and you scream and you run
To catch up to the setting sun
Knowing you can't but trying anyway
Hoping tomorrow won't start without you
Hoping today won't leave you behind

But that's the trick of the mind...
