"Are You Dreaming?" by The FOG (original)

Back story: About 5 years ago I had knee surgery and spent a week loaded on pain meds and watching movies. I watched a movie called "Waking Life" which in my hydrocodone state seemed so profound that I scribbled down a bunch of notes. I wrote this tune from those notes... I really don't know if they have anything to do with the movie at this point.

Lyrics:
Hey, are you dreaming?
Just iron thoughts and feeling blind
Its been too long since you took the time
To crawl outside your mind

Hey, are you dreaming?
Just an infant left behind
Dreaming's been dismissed from time
Banished from language by the blind

All the dreams we held so close
Have vanished in a wisp of smoke
And dreamers can no longer sing along

Promises lit up the night
Soul and dreams give up the fight
The dreamer's lost, alone and has no song

Hey! Are you dreaming?
Hey! Are you dreaming?

Guitar
Tell me one thing: what's it like being a
character in someone else's dream?
Guitar

Hey, are you dreaming?
Like a gypsy song in double time
Wind keeps blowing a path realigned
Dream ejecting from your mind

All the dreams we held so close
Are still alive behind the smoke
The dreamers may still find their song

Promise lit up the night
Souls and dreams take up the fight
This dreamer finds he can sing along

Hey are you dreaming
Hey are you dreaming
Hey are you dreaming
Hey are you dreaming
