Close your eyes

Even in my dreams

There are no angels in the sky

Just sparks from all the dying stars

And there are no mermaids in the seas

Just sinking men with too many scars



Afraid of their tears



Even in my dreams

There are no mountains I can climb,

just dark holes to hide myself in

And there are no fireflies to chase,

just burning ashes of what has been



Things I can’t erase



Even in my dreams

There’s no such thing as make-believe,

just fantasies of all the weak

And there is no hope in fairy-tales,

just a truth that no-one can speak



When all knowledge fails



Even in my dreams

There are no dragons I can slay,

just monsters that I can’t escape

And dreams, well they never come true,

just nightmares from which I can’t wake



Even in my dreams



I am through.

Damn, this is quite heavy to digest.
