Nov 2013
I feel like I'm walking on a cloud
Nothing else matters, I keep silent and move on
Day dreams and vivid visions
Suddenly disappear from forthcoming decisions
And with a crack reality instantly snaps back
I make up my mind
Saying to myself am I half blind
Then I disappear again
Off in my own head
Thinking about what should have been said
I realize it's not a debt
So I allow myself to forget

I feel like I'm walking across hot coals
That those that get ahead do so by trampling over souls
Contempt for those who got there without putting in the work
The question drives me berzerk
Social implications keep mounting my frustrations
I don't follow the pack and foster my own creations
Completely alone
I feel like a king upon a thrown that isn't his own
Without a care I stop and stare
Only to realize that there's nothing there

Oh
Sorry
It was just another dream
