In My Dreams
Kinship, I need you
Friendship, I seek you
Suspend common feeling
Portend a wish come true
Hand grenade carnged torsos
Standing alone I'm unafraid, but I weep
Disbanding the grotesgue and the gore
Withstanding strange thoughts in my sleep
Encahnting you are even in my dreams
Supplanting ghouls with a purple haze
Chanting lullabies for two week until
Panting murmurs of evil fade
In my dreams I see a cloak of stars
Thinly square about your shoulders broad
Winning smile, knowing eyes
Grinning fool, you are no fraud
You are what I longed for
Few have ever chased my demons away
Blue is brighter, dark is lighter
Together I pray we shall stay
