Act 1 Scene 1
As I lay me down to sleep
praying the lord my soul to keep
dieing to be an age old cliche
if i wake tomorrow
i'll pray again to die gracefully
obsessively again
finding lady blue in the middle of several mirrors
the center stage of muticolored flags
the methodology of reading an aura
Dreaming again of mardigras skeletons
and chinese new year dragons
no way to see this making any sense
waking up in a room full of clocks
time is an illusion
red is passion
black protective voids
brown sickening in the growth of the green
the flags begging for a psychic to read
the serenity of the white and black flags
and the shapes we keep dreaming.
Life is a stage
the game of romancing the beast
seven main characters
four story lines thatr intertwine
at the center of the tarot we find our window of opportunity
the simplest things
the most abstract messages
the stronghold of sovereignty
the strangest messages
raised high up on the sky scape
The flags are talking
the aura of reality
wisdom passed on and passed on
in the riddle of the stars symbolism
playing card messages
bouquets sent from cupid
and a united color scheme
something different to point out to the final piece of the holiday game
ow i lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep
if i havent died by the time i wake
tomorrow i will humble myself and pray for death in another way
