I wrote this song about a time in my life where I would catch myself constantly daydreaming about a better life, which got the the point where everyday when I was at work, I'd be looking forward to getting home, into bed so I could close my eyes and pretend I was living a different life from reality. Almost like when Wanda created the hex in Wandavison if that makes sense. Not a healthy way to live.

Verse 1
When I'm alone at night
In bed I close my eyes
Escape into my mind
Leave reality behind

I escape to a place where everything's right

Where I can dream myself a perfect life

Pre-Chorus
I know it's bad for me but I can't deny
I prefer my daydreams to real life

Hook
I run away
From real life
Escape to my
Fake Dreamland

I know it's bad for me but I can't deny
I prefer my daydreams to real life

Verse 2
How much life have I lost
Is the temporary bliss worth the cost
Is this the existence that I want
Wishing life away before it truly starts
 

The life I want seems unattainable
At least in reality
But I can live it out in my fantasy
For the small price of truly living life

Hook
I run away
From real life
Escape to my
Fake Dreamland

I run away
From real life
Escape to my
Fake Dreamland
