The Living Desire
If I fall asleep... will I die?
If I die... is it like a dream?
When awake... how do we get by?
Going nowhere to once have been
Suppose for one moment
By dreaming is in actuality living
A fleeting indulgence
For everything done living... we’re dreaming
I begin to imagine infinite possibilities
How abnormal normal is
Gifted exclusively in endless abilities
Will our dreams to be normal... flee?
If I stay awake... will I live?
If I live... is it like life?
When asleep... do I believe?
Going elsewhere to only feel alive
We need dreams for life to belong
We need death for life to begone
Are you a sleeping dream along?
Perhaps a living dream reborn...?
