The darkness of hopes Are darker than dreams, because they're almost dreams but get crushed more often They're the crushed dust we walk on The sand papered bones of our dreams Bleached white and forgotten in mind, but not in heart Buried beneath the feet of people who've forgotten and your own These almost dreams, that are your own fault, dig themselves up from the dead or not so dead and haunt you Becoming your dark hopes, creating your dark dreams The darkness of your old hopes brings down your new ones and dims down on your dreams And the darkness of your hopes will bury you in your forever dark dreams
