Paper cranes frame shadows as they fly above me
Eyes stirring under eyelids as they fill my dreams
Small paper balloons floating just above my reach
My fingers twitch as I try to grasp glowing strings

A paper man, I made, stitched up with bits of yarn
Turns his head, hearts for eyes, promising me no harm
His sky high legs bend down as he extends an arm
Fingers curl around me as I step in his palm

He lifts me up higher, then higher, then higher
My eyes light up as the beautiful scene transpires
Violet sky, birds, balloons, all for me to admire
Dancing around me, filling me with desire

All of the sudden a song fills my ears & head
It's making me turn my back, flooding me with dread
It controls my body, it pulls me to the edge
The birds scream louder as I'm closer to the ledge

The paper man looks, there is nothing he can do
The song taking my body, twisting it anew
Propelling over the edge, my final adieu
Closed my eyes and for once, I actually flew

*Wake up
