Crumbs

Dreams are now bread crumbs
Little puzzle pieces we leave when we leave home
We never pick them up, never look back

Dreams are now bread crumbs
a trail we keep to memory
to find our way home

Tiny imaginary wishes
comforters that we return to
when things get rough


If dreamers are wasteful
then happiness is a lie
And all the lies in world
couldn't make me cry
I want to waste my days away
I want to cherish the crumbs
you so carelessly throw away

Breads crumbs, now dreams
A path to nowhere
but doesn't it have to lead somewhere?

Dreams are stale crumbs
pieces of bread, made a puzzle
and the picture is always missing

I want the best, for my way home
I want the dreams that never manifest
I want the impossible:

All these crumbs fto form a whole.
