Wake Up

In your arms I find refuge from my dreams, they haunt 

I run from the things I swore to no longer want 

Dream’s scape, dreams escape 

I’m still running to close the gape

To wake up I have to be stronger

I can’t live in sleep any longer 

Asleep I’m blind 

Awake I find 

The living nightmares, the shades of your presence

Traces left behind, shadow-walking through the essence 

Careful solace

Tiptoe and wallow 

But I’ve never heard a sound so hollow

Time is ticking in this hourglass sand

There’s no more fruit in this barren land 

Miss me and always leave 

Keep me and lose me 

Such ignorance cannot be undone

Reason cannot be taught to one

Its silly and sick and the dessert of the depraved 

Let them eat cake

I’ve been waiting, but I’m already gone 

The man I once knew was a mirage made of smoke and dust 

Breathless in the fog, the mist of the lost 

I said I’d never give up, no matter the cost 

But I’m not brave anymore 

I’ve never loved you before
