Dream States Develop
Dream states develop another day goes by
I seem to get lost yet I don't understand why
It's not like I haven't seen this before
My problem is I wanted something more.
As the dreams get much deeper I drift from this place
I just retreat inward to a place that is safe
I don't think it because of things that I fear
I just miss the things that I once held dear.
Transitions start to falter and it seems to get dark
I look for my place so I can just leave my mark
A haze clouds my eyes and then I don't see
I can't understand the way things will be...
Just like still water thoughts start to get deep
They come to the surface and then retreat
I just can't seem to find the path today
Maybe I left the path and went the wrong way.
As the dreams become nightmares I awake from this sleep
The pieces of the puzzle lie scattered at my feet
Where once had been reason I get consumed by the past
I was going to wait because I'm moving way too fast.
I awake and wipe the sweat from my head
Then I can't seem to even get out of bed
I gasp for my breath but I'm suffocating
So many pieces with none of them relating.
For all the mistakes and the price that I pay
I still seem to be able keep all fears at bay
I think I might leave that is if I may
It seems like tomorrow yet it is today.
