Eyes wide open
I’m not tired at all
but after the sun has set
and the last star begins to fall
is when it happens
I drift into my bed
with a romantic state of mind
rejecting any sign of light
and for a moment I become blind
unable to see the obvious and cold reality
that waits for me
My thoughts start to roam
and worries seem to fade
as if these things called dreams
only for me were made
So I just sleep as I dream
I dream as I sleep
Every dream with its own purpose
so meaningful and deep
Intense and thought-provoking
Sometimes I wake up choking
on memories and fears
voices ringing in my ears
Sometimes I wake up smiling
My eyes possessing a subtle gleam
but no matter what the outcome
I’ll always sleep to dream
