I stay awake so long so I can breathe

Lying in this dream, tossed upon the ocean

Crashing down. memories vanish

Disapperance of loved ones, neglect

Seeing true eyes staring me down

Wondering if this is what I found

All those years, searching

All those years, abusing

All those years, lying

To Myself

I stay asleep as long as I can dream

Falling around, hopeless and aimlessly

Rising above the negative mind

A shimmering glimpse of remembrance there

Hiding all of my thoughts

Why am I still pondering

All those years, reaching out

All those years, trying my best

All those years, crying

To Myself.
