What If I Told You?

What if I told you

that the world was standing still?

Would you spin the gears

to make the turning real?

What if I told you

that I could kill you with a lullaby?

Would you hold your eyes open

just to stay alive?

What if I told you

that I was never real?

Would you reach into my heart

just to make me feel?

What if I told you

the sun is just a night light?

Would you find the switch

 to make it glow bright white?

What if I told you

that life was just a book?

Would you tear the pages?

Or would you take a look?

What if I told you

that you could run away?

Would you find a better life

or would you choose to stay?
