"Beacause some days, I just don't feel like waking up, and just want to remain in my dreams."
Beware the dawn of bitter light
Breaking bows of arcing flight

Casting sails full of schemes
Drifting, fading, lucid screams

Beware the myriad of twirling hues
Miles away from waking ruse

A brazen thief of peaceful bliss
Plunder, pillage, a devil’s kiss

Beware the day of hollow woes
Waning moonlight ivory doze

Longing for a wink of sleep
Touching, holding, you I keep

The fear of day, it haunts me so
For morrow comes and dreams must go
