Dreams Locked In a Cage
Conspiracy theories dreams locked in a cage
Screams become silent as peace conquers rage
The means justify the way or maybe I have it wrong
I try to hang on but this journey is so long.
Gentle rain falls washing away all that passed
It’s within my reach yet I still can’t grasp
Mirrors reflect, like the eyes mirror the soul
If you want to pass this way you must pay the toll.
Fragments of memories sooth my weary mind
So much looks different as my thoughts realign
I look inside myself and see signs that change can grow
I feel like a lost soul, swimming in a fish bowl.
Transparent the shadows seem to unveil the truth
The dreams in the cage begin to get loose
Gray skies, the white blankets the barren ground
It falls from the heavens without making a sound.
I find myself up on the high wire
Where one side is ice and the other is fire
They meet in the middle I find my desire
I lose concept of time as my mind does tire.
Chronicles of things that are yet to be
Swirl in the wind and then come to me
Through these eyes I think I see,
The person that I always want to be.
