Fiction

I had the strangest dream, you were lost at sea

I found you drowning on the ocean floor

I woke from my deep sleep to end the misery

I found you lying outside of my door

I tried to wake you up, to shake you up

And found out you were dead

Like a leaf in the wind, you left me standing alone

To face the demons in my head

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

A dusty record spins, an old song plays again

The needle dragging across its skin

Ink spills through my pen, the paper soaks it in

The music bringing tremors to my hands

I can't just give you up, just lift you up

To chance on a dragonfly's wings

With my love in the wind

You left me standing alone

Hoping it brings you back to me

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

We are not poets

We have no right to make amendments

This story's over, this chapter's closing

I don't know how it ends

But I really don't like how it begins

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

We're burning pages

We're burning pages now
