i shall co-exist there.
now back to the feature...
I Dream in Black and White
Alone, but not really. I’m surrounded by colors
The world around me explodes into a broken rainbow
Everyone indistinguishable from one another.
Time goes by fast when the crooked are made straight
When the foundations vanish, gone are the great.
I crumble. So do they.
Me next, they all pray.
I shut my eyes to leave the confusion
Leave the screams of a dream fulfilled, and a dream lost.
Identity found while being forfeited
I try to scream too, until my voice is hoarse.
Lay me on a beach of jet black sand
Soak up the side of me that people try to shun
Can’t put together where one life ended and another begun
Jumbled. Scattered. Alive. My mind is crowded.
Scan the sunlit prism. Isn’t this what I wanted?
We’re not together. It’s just the first goodbye.
Do you feel the same love you did last time you looked me in the eyes?
2239412.
And like that, my thoughts go up in flames
My dreams turn to ash
Reality came at me like a speeding bullet
And I woke up too fast
When you cut out all the bullshit and know you’re forced to wait
You’re mind is the only place you can color and be safe.
I hate living in black and white. I mean,
Compared to standing in the middle of a dream
In the midst of darkness, you’ll realize
It’s so much lonelier when you open your eyes.
