Sweet Dreams
Wake up, I whisper into your ear
It’s all just a dream, just a mere
Fragment of your imagination
A weak imitation of real life
Wake up, I whisper, harsher this time
Your life isn’t clothed in fine
Silks of ruby, silver and gold
Snap out of this fantasy before you grow old
And life’s real finery has passed you by
Wake up, I snap, grinding my teeth
The ground you feel beneath your feet isn’t real
It’s just a dream
But it’s all you can think
And it’s all you can see
And honestly it’s killing me
Wake up, I cry, my tears falling
But your ears are deaf to my calling
You slip through my fingers
Spread your wings and fly
Away with your fake life so your real life dies.
