this one i can beat

this one i'll survive

if i could rest

with meaning replete

while hope is alive and thought suppressed

and when i look out

the universe slings

a shooting star

don't want to see doubt

i want to see things

for what they are

but if i can awake

from a dream i mistake for reality then would you let me in?

and sanity blurs

give credit to chance if it is due

the thought of it stirs me out of a trance

i'm coming to

afraid to be right

afraid to be wrong

too high the stakes

while up on the fence

can i see the beyond my own mistakes?

my energy is gone

and sleep is coming on

be quiet let me be

alone here with my dreams

visions of happy things

although it's pointless when

i won't remember them
