Dream at Tempo 119

i took my seat and stared

at the cardboard screen while no one cared

while the lights stayed on

the familiar buzz was now long gone

i just waited there

as the music soared into the air

as the lights went down

she said don't open your eyes

at tempo 119

they took to the crowd and aimed towards me

as the circle closed

i held onto the one with splintered clothes

twenty years before

she said don't open your eyes and you can swim

all my friends ignored

she said don't open your eyes

don’t open your eyes

and said goodnight

don't open your eyes

and said goodnight

i couldn't end it there

as her wooden bones grew through her skin

crumbled naturally

as her limbs and leaves had broken free

twenty years before

she said don't open your eyes and you can swim

wanted nothing more

she said don't open your eyes

don’t open your eyes

and said goodnight

don't open your eyes

and said goodnight
