Dream Unreality
Dreams stay together
So why can’t we?
Loud whisper of my desire,
This slowly fading memory,
Of talking, laughing and living,
Such time spent together,
Is it all just a trick of my mind,
an invention everyone?And my conscious confusion,
This is all that remains.
In the half-light of my mind,
Cut with the bitter taste of the day,
I remember us happy together,
Why couldn’t we stay that way?If waking is without you,
Then let me sleep on,
Nothingness with you,
Better than everything alone,
Yet once again I arise in the light,
And all that’s left is the stare of your eyes,
Looking at me from my dillusion,
reflected in the mirror of my fading memory.And my conscious confusion,
This is all that remains.
In the half-light of my mind,
Cut with the bitter light of the day,
I remember us being happy,
Why couldn’t we stay that way?I can see us now in my minds eye,
Walking hand in hand in another life,
Sleeping by my side,
Talking together of things which never are,
Laughing to jokes we never share.
But somewhere we are happy,
Living each day at a time.But all I have is my conscious confusion,
It is all that remains.
In the half-light of my mind,
Cut with the bitter light of the day,
I remember us being happy,
I hope that way we stay that way.Yes, I dream that we are happy,
And I wish us all the best,
Even if it’s not you,
Even if it’s not me,
We are still happy somewhere,
If only in my faded memories.And my conscious confusion,
This is all that remains.
In the half-light of my mind,
Cut with the bitter light of the day,
I remember us being happy,
I hope we stay that way,
Memories of you happy,
Slowly fading away,
Somewhere you are happy,
I hope you stay that way.
