Broken eyelids
Let too much light in
A lucid haze
Watching while our dreams float away
Rolling thunder
Shouts from out under
Monsters say
"It's time to start another day"
Chasing fables
Set tall tales on tables
On empty plates
We place a life we'll never taste
Hollow rooms
Echo at a volume
That can't be heard
But resonate a single tone
Yellowed pages
Repeating for ages
The words create
Another place where we escape
Painted rainbows
Show us where we won't go
A lullaby
A melody we can't get right
Heavy rumbles
Sounds of monster's slumber
Tucked away
Under blankets that we've made
Waning eyelids
Capture our lives in
An empty space
We'll disappear until we wake
