Put Dreams to Sleep
by Kevin P. Harloff
Where is your truth?
Where are your lies?
I'm in the dark with open eyes

Was a moment in hope
Not a moment in love
Well I give up both cause I've had enough

Characters in a play
Reading what to say
Exactly who did you portray?

And what was there to prove?
To make a man a fool?
And give up all that's true?

So I put to sleep
All that I dream
I've realized now it cannot be

Was a childish game
In a grown-up's name
A wild beast I cannot tame

This search for love
And what it means
Has broken down
And tortured me

Is not a fate of mine
I choose a different kind
I abandon love
Give up the find
