Sta.sh
When the daylight stops and shows you the truth,
When you need just one wish but the stars won't shoot,
When the storm you can hear blows away the hope,
When it batters the newly made walls of your home,
When the only one left to keep you safe is yourself,
When you scream through the night and only darkness can help,
When the demons that follow get in the last word,
When the visions of perfection come to be altered,
And when the day's been rough and there's sill no sleeping,
These are the things that stop us dreaming.
When you love someone who won't give anything back,
When you walk from the safety of the beaten track,
When they step on your heart when they close the last door,
When you can't seem to stop yourself keeping the scores,
When their words leave you licking the reddened scars,
When the journey back to your heart seems much too hard,
When you deny yourself a smile in the fear of a repeat,
When you are suspicious of all the good things that you meet,
And when you don't know why but your heart won't stop weeping,
These are the things that stop us dreaming.
When I fall to my knees and scream at it all,
When I can't even find the confidence to crawl,
When in pains place is a crippling numbness,
When I see myself as nothing short of a disgrace,
When the track is a dead end and I have to stop,
When that didn't even matter because I was lost,
When praying for mercy does nothing that's good,
When I'm in a heap on the ground which I once stood,
And when there seems like no chance for fleeing,
These are the times when I should be dreaming.
When I closed up my eyes and saw pretty lights,
When the brilliance of the sun filled in my life,
When the smiles of my loved ones were fulfilled,
When I trusted them with my life, for which they would kill,
When I was standing tall in front of the vast open sea,
When my heart beat in pleasure and listened to me,
When my mouth opened to a smile, I grasped beloved hands,
When I danced and sang with them on the hot sand,
And when I opened my eyes and got up, my mouth was grinning,
I forgot about those things and now I am dreaming.
