Webs of defeat,
Cover my tracks,
Marking my way,
Just like the rain that’s washed the streets.
I walk down this yellow brick road,
Looking for the man who wrote my life,
I want to ask him what comes next,
I want to know what’s in store for me.
Everyone watches me,
As I fade away…
Falling into my dreams,
I see the autumn leaves fall into the empty spaces of my life.
Don’t get up to close the window,
This breeze reminds me of something I can’t remember.
The chill that rises up my face,
Makes my palms perspire.
The paint off the roof seems to be flaking away,
The curtains need a proper washing.
The wallpaper needs to be replaced with some new flowers,
The broken mirror needs to be thrown away.
The truth always hurts more,
So I live inside my lies.
I lie alone in this bed,
Knowing that its going to stay like this for a long time.
My overconfidence was a reason for my sadness,
My mistakes taught me more than you ever could.
I’m so tired now,
But my eyelids don’t seem to forget the traces of blood inside of them.
I pray to the sandman,
So that he can save me from this insomnia.
Lock away your diary,
So that no one can read your thoughts.
As a child,
I was afraid of getting caught,
So I never did anything wrong.
But I’m older now,
And failure no longer scares me.
I’m not a rocker,
I’m just a dog walker.
Every day I wave back at you from the porch before I leave for work,
But till now I don’t know your name.
My blood runs cold,
I play the games alone.
Rise above the wave,
Trying to make sense from all of this.
My prayer has been answered,
I fall back into my dreams again.
My eyelids lie silent,
As I rest in my ocean of sleep.
