What is reality? I remember that Rabbit Hole so clearly
What are the stuff of dreams? What are these people that have been
A massive importance to my life?
I remember them so vividly. It sometimes appears that I'm
Peering from a dream out into the reality of
Life, but what is more true is
The limits of this dream seem more real
Than the world that is out there
It is only an accumulation of
Dreams - nothing more. We think that the world
"Out-there" is more important, but it is
Nothing compared to the world
In here
I swear, I can remember being loved once, though
A girl like me shouldn't believe in love. The other
Half I spend being a cynic, keeping my head
Down, hoping that nobody notices how
Weird I am
You're so used to being alone that you ignore when
Real love is knocking on your door. When life blows
Up, moving outward, shining so
Brightly on your skin, calling you to
Taste the stars
But the day, it takes control over those midnight dreams
Calling them out into daylight, telling them that they won't
Survive in the sun
