A Waking Dream

Time, time wakes to suck the seconds, minutes and the days
Days are so surreal that
Waking from a dream, I'm mistaken what is real and what's
Fake now, everything is the same

Lie awake while the world sleeps away
'Cause waking dreams keep me from sleeping peacefully
Open my eyes to see that there is someone there
Then it's gone and I'm back here again
Just a glimpse of an alternate reality
Say the words aloud "Don't tell me I don't care."

Fly, fly fast and wake with a start when you begin to fall
Fall hard. As the realisation is
Dawning that we've already had warning: if we stand fast then the yawning
Will soon turn into a whirlwind

The light has gone and I lie here to wait for morning
To cast it's light on these shadows
Breathing slow so I can hear every sound
That's out of place or unfamiliar
As my eyes close I slip away through a wall of silence
Into a world of unknown measures where I find myself surrounded
But when I open up my eyes, the visions do not disappear
Instead they linger before dissolving into darkness

Dreams, dreams take every single second of the day
At days end they place them in a
Melting pot that spews like a fountain sprinkling dreams on the sleeping
But now they're there when I'm waking
