Surrogate Reality

Dreams of an ancient city Collapsed in darkest light Seen by those who witness The beauty in our sight The cold ambient welcome From dissolution’s heir Fixated on our silence As this city starts to stare We hold to all our reason We focus all our will But danger seeps toward us Holding our hearts still Draining all my patience Seperating friends I wake into this nightmare In a horror that won’t end A flicker of remembrance A daydream I forget In the corner of perception I see the darkness set In my dreams this city greets me I scream until it fades And in wakefulness I’m poisoned What did the city say? An ancient creature stalks me Threatening my worth This monster keeps me silent In a city we call Earth
