time for sleep

it's not that reality's boring

dreams just show me the way

it's not that reality's not welcoming

but in dreams I wish I could stay

 

it's not that the world is painful

but in dreams there is no strain

it's not that the world is judgmental

but in dreams I can bathe in the rain

 

it's not that society's uncreative

but in dreams I can paint with the music

it's not that society's not surprising

but in dreams I never feel basic  

 

it's not that life is too limited

but in dreams I can walk on the sun

It's not that life isn't enjoyable

but sadly, my dreams are more fun.
