I close my eyes The darkness consumes me I venture into nothing Embracing the feeling Wondering what waits But I think I know… All the walls are white My mind didn’t color them tonight But this isn’t the hospital The stairs do spiral But not because I’m sick I walk up the contraption Carefully placing each step On my weightless legs Searching for… Memories a blur… I’ve reached the top He’s been waiting I should have gone to bed early I needed to be with him Or was that my intention? Do I even know this man? He seemed so familiar Just a moment ago He seemed like… He motions me through the doorway I forget what was on my mind His brown eyes are urging me I clear the threshold And now I’m outside The grass radiates green The sky oozes blue The colors are so vibrant… Wasn’t I on the second floor? Where’d that man go? I’m always chasing him around He’s always telling me what to do Always misleading me There’s a redundancy in this nightly game I wish he’d go away But my mind wants me to remember his face I turn back towards the door He thinks he fooled me again I’ll find him soon… I walk through the strange meadow Over the flat terrain There’s a hill on the horizon This stays the same I walk faster The hill is no closer So much frustration I hear his voice calling me over I turn around He is there Wearing a giant grin He’s won again At least it’s somewhere beautiful I’m not dwelling in a nightmare But as soon as I’m content… The ground drops out There is nothing around but dark I remember seeing his face Remember him… I try And then I weep A speechless dream Is all he’ll ever be

Speechless Dream
I close my eyes The darkness consumes me I venture into nothing Embracing the feeling Wondering what waits But I think I know… All the walls are white My mind didn’t color them tonight But this isn’t the hospital The stairs do spiral But not because I’m sick I walk up the contraption Carefully placing each step On my weightless legs Searching for… Memories a blur… I’ve reached the top He’s been waiting I should have gone to bed early I needed to be with him Or was that my intention? Do I even know this man? He seemed so familiar Just a moment ago He seemed like… He motions me through the doorway I forget what was on my mind His brown eyes are urging me I clear the threshold And now I’m outside The grass radiates green The sky oozes blue The colors are so vibrant… Wasn’t I on the second floor? Where’d that man go? I’m always chasing him around He’s always telling me what to do Always misleading me There’s a redundancy in this nightly game I wish he’d go away But my mind wants me to remember his face I turn back towards the door He thinks he fooled me again I’ll find him soon… I walk through the strange meadow Over the flat terrain There’s a hill on the horizon This stays the same I walk faster The hill is no closer So much frustration I hear his voice calling me over I turn around He is there Wearing a giant grin He’s won again At least it’s somewhere beautiful I’m not dwelling in a nightmare But as soon as I’m content… The ground drops out There is nothing around but dark I remember seeing his face Remember him… I try And then I weep A speechless dream Is all he’ll ever be
