The Land That I Wonder

Late at night when i can't sleep, my demons come out to haunt me And when my eyes open with the sunrise, they attack my thoughts Plague my dreams So i stay up sometimes just to write, even though i know few will ever read these. Sometimes i can't tell if these are visions i have or fits of insanity Lately I've been dreaming about a girl.. metaphorically and literally. A forbidden desire fitting like a sensual attire Someone like her would never be with someone like me Feels like a surreal childhood fantasy. Wouldn't be the first time i took a leap... Landing face first but still with damaged feet. Electra is her name And this electric feeling is to blame When i lay alone in my bed with all these things rushing through my head.. Are these tricks? Treats? Future destiny? I wish i knew...but i feel like a rat in a cage Thoughts cover my thoughts What is this energy? Maybe it will go away Or maybe i really am insane... My Alice in wonderland.... Is this real? Am i? So many things i wish to say But for now, I fade away
