40 Thieves of Dreams Within Dreams Part 1

This isn’t earth There is no such thing as earth Has any one seen the magic lamp lately? Does anyone remember the reality anymore? That we are indeed 40 thieves stuck in a cave making 3 wishes Strategically to survive? We got tired of the walls Wanted to see the sun again The moon the stars Now this cave we are inside is a world inside a cave We are trapped within called earth Earth a word for inside a mountainside Slang for language we have forgotten But I am one of 39 other thieves I am looking for you Wondering of your wishes Seeing this technology Treading water in the Harpie pool with these gorgeous swimmers and their beautiful bodies who are going to deceive me like a fairytale crocodile Those are not the real stars Those are not the real wars I'm still searching for the exit I am the king of the fourty thieves And my wish was that your wishes would revolve and go through me You are creating a god With all of your wishes I know everything 120 powerful wishes A genie in tears An exit we can’t find And what will we do? What can we say when the centuries we left behind come for us Come for our treasure Find a world within the side of a mountain A harpie pool A master of wishes looking for a trap door of a secret word that keeps changing We never needed saving We were lonely We all wanted to be gods
