Dreamland

Dreamland
I lay in a bed of wildflowers

A blanket of snow covers me

My colorful sky changes by the hour

And the golden sun warms me

The tall mushrooms shade my figure

And the morning dew kisses my skin

The air smells so pure

And I can feel the euphoria within

The red stream flows by

And the gentle breeze guides the blue spores

This world is mine

Who could ask for more?

Stars twinkle behind the clouds

Whole galaxies are in my view

There was no mist to shroud

Nothing was askew

Waterfalls rained down from the sky

Their crystal waters reshape

This world is mine

I need no escape

Silver leaves float in my sight

Their pink designs so intricate

The winds give them flight

To beauty they commit

The trees that tower

So mighty and twisting

Mixing with the water shower

To be beneath you I’m wishing

The green oceans that endlessly undulate

And mingle with the shore

Such beauty it creates

And still there is so much more

This world so wonderful

And ever so grand

It is quite delightful

This is my dreamland

Goodnight

Goodnight


I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded knife
I’m kissing day goodnight
I’m throwing my peace sign in the air
And letting my air raid siren blare
I’m leaving loose ends
And fraying ties
I’ll no longer pretend
I’m confessing my lies
I’m taking on life with a wicked grin
I’m not being suppressed again
I’m going to be living risky
I’m not going to be lost
Won’t be shootin’ back whiskey
I’m going to be my own boss
My claxon is going off
And my warning lights are flashing
Like life before my eyes
While you come down crashing
I laugh in the face of danger
And just a little bit at your failure
Because at the end you curl up and cry
And kiss your life goodbye
And even if I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded knife
I’m only kissing day goodnight
