I saw you in a dream

I saw you in a dream

You woke me from a nightmare

Visions of which I’m still haunted by

Still I hope to build a bridge

To worlds I won’t be reaching

Chart my trails in a lullaby

So call me like you did

At times when we were lonesome

Kept ourselves from a wish to die

And I’d fall for all your tricks

You’ll miss me when it’s over

Weaving threads in a web of lies

Awoken from a farce

My eyes shall never slumber

Will I ever make it home again?

Promises of gold

My spoils of gilded hunger

Will they claim it as heaven-sent?

Curses of the tomb

The bed that I’ve been making

In a womb of accomplishment

Memories of a past

I lost my recollection

Let me go where my angels went

Like an ape without a tail

A child without a parent

Born of promethean alibis

Like a schoolgirl in a class

A class without a privilege

When will we ever return the plight?
