It was in this quaint formality
That my restless mind did realize
That this world is somewhat feign,
Though never the same in my eyes.
Though bloodshot they were
And without sleep for several nights
Still I could see the cheaply crafted illusion,
For my eyes though weary still have sight.
I beckoned and I believed
Ne'er to conceive my world falling apart.
For everything I held out, held you in
Tucked safely in the confines of my heart.
Nothing could prepare me for this-
The confusion and utter dismay
That would soon ensue.
Oh I never saw such a dark day.
Open my eyes and here I see
Blacks skies looming ever closer o'er my head
Lies twist realities inside my mind
And demons lurk e'er closer to my bed-
And I woke to a world I couldn't imagine;
A place where I know I should never be
But still I can't find my way out
With these dreams of you burdening me.
Distorted thoughts haze my mind in black,
Nightmares plaguing over my deepest desires,
A land of darkness and strife indeed,
I watch all my dreams burst into fire.
I still can't come to grasp the concept
Of this ever darkening place of lore.
All I know is I poured upon you all my love;
Asked for just an ounce of yours and no more.
But here I find myself waking up cold and confused
Wrapped betwixt warped blankets I threw
Across this lonely bed with it's consuming feeling
While I was encompassed by dreams of you.
And I know that this day will be the rise of discourse
And we'll behold the fall of what we call romance.
And if I could prevent this with all my might I would
But my feelings are at peek and can longer enhance.
I've built my world around you in such a profound manner.
I've constructed my life unto you as an abbey,
Placed all my hopes and dreams into one manifest
And prayed you realize what this means to me.
But still the clutch of reality holds all to firmly
And I stand idly and oh I behold the fall;
Watch as shooting stars fade to a black,
Watch the crumbling of my long labored walls.
All the bricks shatter into pieces;
Falling around you in an ever growing crimson rain
Full of the blood and tears I had to shed
And all the lives my ambition had to forever stain
Just to build everything perfect for you,
Just to be left in empty, miserable agony,
Just to reconstruct all of your dreams,
Just to pray- do you know what it means to me?
That my restless mind did realize
That this world is somewhat feign,
Though never the same in my eyes.
Though bloodshot they were
And without sleep for several nights
Still I could see the cheaply crafted illusion,
For my eyes though weary still have sight.
