This is a partial song fic btw :)

I like making these.

Angst btw, and post-infinity war. Everyone's back, but Peter remembers pretty much nothing and Tony doesn't wanna tell him. But then he remembers.

Peter Parker POV

   I woke up.

   It was sudden, and inexplicable. I don't even remember what my dream was. I only remember... dust. And pain. I've been having this dream over and over again.

But... what does it mean?

What happened those months that I was gone?

Mr. Stark doesn't want to tell me... but why?

.

.

.

   Then it hit me. All at once.

   What happened.

   Thanos

   Going to space

   The fight

   The pain

   The time stone

   The feeling of death

   While my mentor watches hopelessly.

       I don't know how I remembered suddenly. Mr. Stark always told me to not think about it. So I didn't. Maybe that's why...? But once I remembered, I broke down. Remembering every particle spitting away, my very soul bursting, my organs failing. I remember pleading for help, but there was nothing anyone could do. I was scared, stressed, shocked.

So I went to the one thing that comforted me.

      I remember finding shortly before everything... happened. It was just sitting in a forgotten room in one of the many rooms in Stark Tower. Unused, brand-new and all. I loved it from the moment I saw it, because I knew if life came crashing down, I would have something to de-stress me, if only for a while.

     The piano still sat in its room, it's keys polished and wood a beautiful mahogany. I don't even know how it got here. It was just... there.

I sat, resting my hands on the keys,  took a breath, and began to play and sing:

In the dark,

And I'm right at the middle mark

I'm just in tier of everything

That rides below the surface

And I watch

In the distance seventeen

And I'm short of the others dreams

Of being golden and on top

It's not what you painted in my head

There's so much more there instead of all

The colors that I saw

       I sung, not noticing anyone else in the room. Not noticing videoing of my singing. It didn't matter at the moment to me, I was to absorbed into calming myself down. I sand the chorus with passion, as I had completely memorized this song long ago.

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain't what it seems,

Oh everything is a mess.

And all this sorrows I have seen,

They lead me to believe

That everything's a mess.

I wanna dream

I wanna dream

Leave me to dream

      I sang without stutter, without a mess up on the key. I didn't even notice any instrument joining the piano, or the other voices joining me. I was singing every chord without fail.

In the eyes

Of a teenage crystallized,

Oh the prettiest of lights

That hang the hallways of the home.

And the cry's

From the strangers in the night,

They don't keep us up at night,

We have the curtains drawn and closed.

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain't what it seems,

Oh everything's a mess.

And all these sorrows I have seen,

They lead me to believe,

That everything's a mess.

But I wanna dream,

I wanna dream,

Leave me to dream

      I played the instrumental part, without fail. My nerves had melted away, leaving only blissful concentration. I missed the impressed looks of the avengers, Clint playing the drums, Buckey playing guitar (because the author said so), etc. it the came time to sing the part I related the most to at the moment.

I know your reasons

To keep me from seeing

Everything is actually a mess.

But now I am leaving,

All of us were only dreaming,

Everything is actually a mess.

We all are living in a dream,

But life ain't what it seems,

Oh everything's a mess.

And all these sorrows I have seen,

They lead me to believe

That everything's a mess.

But I wanna dream,

I wanna dream,

Leave me to dream.

I wanna dream,

I wanna dream,

Leave me to dream...

       I ended the song with a sigh of relief, as I felt better. I soon realized the other people in the room existed, and later found out that Mr.Stark had live-streamed it on YouTube.

We got Imagine Dragons tickets for free the next day from the band.

Hope you enjoyed that! This is kinda a filler for things I put a lot of effort into. But I promise I'll do something more original soon. I was listening to Imagine Dragons song while listening to this, so if you liked his, I could make more, since I have more songs in mind that fit.
