Land of Make Believe

Last night was a sequence of vignettes My subconscious played a montage of regret Then I was with you And I knew what to do I looked you in the eyes And I apologized Last night was intangible at best The scenario existed solely in my head Now I'm coming to I wish that it was true I faced the terror headlong Now it's just a song It's so easy in the land of dreams It's simple and risk free to do the right thing In the land of dreams Though the Basilisk's reach is wide Its grasp finds no purchase tonight In the land of make believe Last night was a sequence of vignettes Which soon will fade away to nothingness Now malaise creeps through As ennui consumes An entire generation What a strange sensation Last night was entangled twixt the skein And though t'was tropological it spake arcane Now outside our room The ski ghost found a clue There's iron bars upon the windows Come with me we're going home It's so easy in the land of dreams It's simple and risk free to do the right thing In the land of dreams Though the Basilisk's reach is wide It's grasp finds no purchase tonight In the land of make believe The tower was a carnival You took my hand, we slid below And at the end of the descent i found i was alone In Plato's cave was Solomon's keyhole The shadows danced in a rapturous trance To celebrate the puppeteer's control The rising of the flames foretold How the present and the past unfold 'Till entropy makes all the blessed movements cold And I saw Bael I saw the teeth I felt the heat I fought the beast Last night I heard a symphony They played the melody at the core of everything Now I'm filled with light I'm soaring like a kite The landscape yields spectacular I cannot find the words Then I woke up And then I sneezed
