I had a dream last night
you were lying next to me
the look on your face was so serene
as if the world weren't crashing down on us

and my world is falling apart
every time I open my eyes
I see the truth behind these lies
no more dreams
you're forever asleep

Like any dream I had to wake
all the colors start to fade away
I can no longer see your face
The nightmares come and bring decay

and my world is falling apart
every time I open my eyes
I see the truth behind these lies
no more dreams
you're forever asleep

my dreams are made of deceit
they tell me you're here with me
but when I open my eyes
you're not dreaming anymore
you're not laughing anymore
you're forever asleep
As it is sung

12 am.
I ghost write in your dms.
The hidden side of me
Comes out to speak
Descriptions of soft weekends.
Fantastical phantom words
That weave together our beginnings
We balance on a lie
If anyone found out we'd end
So
Delete the messages
Or press unsend.
Solely between us
Our secret sins.
Left or right
the noise drones on

Distractions prized,
the message gone

What’s right is right
unless it’s left

The truth beguiled
—our soul’s bereft
