I'M Wide Awake, the Dreams Are Gone (Part 1)

I woke from a dream the other day To find the memories that had run To faded images and distorted sounds Of what was the lingering sensation Of a blissful oblivion I woke from a dream the other day The monotone greys that filled the air And notes that sounded flat as they rang out Made me long for that one sensation Of a blissful oblivion I woke from a dream again today Clinging to the one memory that Had lasted as the rest faded from my eyes A perfect picture of your face entwined With such a beautiful grace I woke from a dream again today the images had faded, turned to nothing as the reality had brought me crashing back to earth with nothing but my mattress and pillow to break my fall
