Two Lives

Tie the anchor to the rope of my umbilical cord

Cut me out, throw me in, and forget your pirate sword

Race to the finish without a helmet on

One moment I hold your hand, the next you’re gone

 

Alligators creep out of my skin

And leap out with a sinister grin

Smoking trenches of orange peel trees

Nothing you live is all what it seems

 

In one night, I may travel the world

See the death of a soldier

And the life of a bird

 

In one night, I may float on the sea

Have a cup of this delectable tea

If you think, I am unable to conquer him

Give me the sword, I will defeat the dragon

 

One evening can be purchased

With a well thought out plan

Steal away all the riches

Run as fast as you can

 

If you thought I could cure your disease

I would sleep and you would drown in front of me

Is it true, my own thoughts are reality?

Living two lives is not what it used to be

 

(I am who I want to be)
