dreams
those towering, shimmering towers miles away
an oasis in a desert bleached bone dry
winds blowing a frenzy of violence night and day
give me a match, strike it against my skull,
the horizon goes up in flames, the ocean a sea of gasoline
don't even blink an eye, pry them open, force yourself to see
lungs full of nicotine, take in a deep breath, just breathe
there goes your precious dreams,
bricks and bricks all crumbling to the sea
all shining glitter and dreams
a nightmare now of your own decree
open your eyes- do you quite believe?
what you've done with your hands,
what you've done to your dreams
wash your mind clean just to redo,
redo this dying dream.
