The Dream

If only this was a dream,
a sleep so deep an ocean
I just wanna scream...
and wake up, wake up to forget.

All those tenses, past, present and future,
that tense my nerves and stiffs me up,
that tightens the chord round my neck.
Suffocate to death you shall.

Sweet love now bitter and cold,
friendship a ship of ghouls.
Sunken I am to the deepest floor,
that none knows and will.

Way withered consciousness blows
like the air so dead and still
Could I ever come back?
To wake up, wake up and breathe...

Shattered crystals of glass lay,
so sharp, so threatening,
still shines like a diamond,
and calls out for fresh blood.

Empty endless halls resonates
silent loud cries...
Will my screams ever be heard?
That I wake up, wake up and weep...

All the vanity I dream,
long lost of sanity though,
Meaningless scribbles are all
that habits my mind and heart.

I was never so claustrophobic,
crushed under own weight...
Am I never gonna wake up?
Or dream my dream to death?!
