Ten Thousand Dream Sleeps

Written by: J.R Hilton 2017 

SO MANY STORIES, WITHOUT A SPOKEN WORD

FILL UP SO MANY PAGES

I UNDERSTAND SOME ARE EVEN TRUE

WHILE STILL OTHERS ARE MADE UP OR SKEWED

TO SUIT THE VIEW, COVER UP THE TRUTH

YOU'LL MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

BUT IT'S TRUE

MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME

WITH EYES THAT SEE BEYOND THE VEIL

PEACE DOESN'T COME EASY

ALWAYS WITH THESE FEELINGS

THAT'S SOMETHINGS AMISS

WHEN ANYTHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT

I DISAPPEAR FADE INTO THE NIGHT 

I KEEP MY CIRCLE SMALL

I'M WARY BEYOND SUSPICION

ONE HAND ON THE SWITCH

PEOPLES MINDS TALKING TOO LOUD

I TAKE MYSELF AWAY FROM THE CROWD

AWAY FROM THE DISTANT DIN WHERE I CAN FIND MYSELF AGAIN

BUT WHO WILL SAY

WE MUST CARRY THIS HEAVY STONE

ALL THE WAY

IT DANCES IT MOVES IT SURROUNDS YOU

BUT DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN IT

LIKE A SLEEPWALKER DISCONNECTED FROM HIS STEPS

TEN THOUSAND DREAM SLEEPS

I KNOW YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU TRY

I DON'T PUT MY TRUST IN PEOPLE

 OR THINGS THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND

I KEEP WALKING AWAY

ALL PART OF SOME PLAN

BREAKING INTO THE UNIVERSAL CODES

SO I CAN MAKE A KEY

GET IN AND FIGURE IT ALL OUT

WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF RUNNING FREE

NOTHING LEFT TO DOUBT

I TRY TO GREET EVERYDAY THE SAME

PEACE AND NO FINGERS OF BLAME

DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T KNOW THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE

YOU CAN TALK ALL YOU WANT

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN A THING

IF NO ONE IS LISTENING

THE WORDS DRIFTING PAST

WHISPERED ON THE WIND

SIGNED UPON THE GROUND FOR ALL TO SEE

TEN THOUSAND DREAM SLEEPS

I KNOW YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU TRY
