Dream

Awoke to feel, I dreamt that deadly sigh The flooding came but I believe I’m dry The earth shook, but I still think I’m high I told myself that I still have my ways I still deny that they are dying every day I walk and breathe, the darkness makes me stay Awoke today, I crossed the desert plain There are no more lies, there’s no more games I felt today, I know were all the same When was it born, the hate that took our eyes? We were at peace, until darkness took our minds I fall to death in knowing I’m too blind Reaching tomorrow will take me further home My anger breathes; it will tell me where to go Breeding hate, my lies will never know I’ll dream again and face the things I fear They’ll win again and soon I won’t be here The darkness kills because we hold it near Collective dreams will speak and force their right They kill off wrong and force us into night They’re valiant dreams and dreams of might I look around and see we think we’re real In this we sleep and think that life’s a deal So let’s just sleep and pretend that we can feel
