State of Mind

Sound asleep

Dreaming of the dreams I’ll keep

Wide awake

Making way for the life I’ll make

Slipped under

Watched the beauty torn asunder

Grew older

Watched the world grow colder

Bright sunset

Lingered with the one I just met

Dark sunrise

Staring quietly in her eyes

Deceitful angel

Making her way from heaven to hell

Honest fiend

Wished he hadn’t intervened

Sound asleep

Remembering memories I won’t keep

Wide awake

Making up for the time, time will take

Counting down

To the days of my renown

Accumulating

The moments when we’re not hating

Hindsight in view

Because they’re all coming after you

Twenty-twenty won’t do

When each of them can see through

Drama king

Building sandcastles that can’t sing

Comedy queen

Trying to conceal the obscene

Sound asleep

Watching my watch slowly creep

Wide awake

We’ve misinterpreted our mistakes
