Ten Thousand Dream Sleeps

J.R Hilton


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
