Analysis of In My Dreams



You're never in my past since I sense your core in dreams
You're never in my past since I sense primary schemes

You're never laid to rest since I sense your spirit form
You're never laid to rest since I sense phantasmal swarm

You're never far behind since I sense your shadow near
You're never far behind since I sense silhouette sphere

You're never wiped away since I sense your fall with rains
You're never wiped away since I sense unending chains

You're never lost to mind since I sense your touch at hand
You're never lost to mind since I sense conduction band

You're never off the map since I sense you at each bend
You're never off the map since I sense infinite friend
