The First Dream

Hopeful days to become a lie The love I hold will be compromised Up in smoke like the rest of me All to know that I will always see Shelter’s gone but the window’s clear Looking back when I held you near The winter’s come and you’ll never know The best of me has become the snow Broken wings and deceptive minds The biggest hole with a pointing sign Jump on in or we’ll throw you down Listen on and never make a sound Poisoned gods have an antidote Dream and die in a bitter note The silent children with their deadly toys Are screaming on until we’re all destroyed Crawling on through a desert plain All I feel has become a game Adapting on into this wasteful land You hold me close but I’m just grains of sand Waking up as if I were asleep My mind is numb but my sense runs deep I turn to mist and I am alone Yet my heart smiles for the truth I’ve known
