Night writes first... Morning edits... Night writes first... Morning edits... Night writes first... Morning edits... I'd rather leave my dreams behind, Where moonlight keeps what daylight finds. Five lives before the morning light, I wake up full, but need my mind. Back in my youth, I chased that door, Lucid nights and something more. OBE, LD, I knew the game, Different worlds, but same old name. Dream journal bursting at the seams, Pages heavy from my dreams. Reality checks through every day, On city streets and bus rides away. Finger through palm, clock on the wall, Testing the rules, waiting to fall. I knew what waits behind closed eyes, A second sky behind the skies. I was young, I had that time, To map the dark and read each sign. Now life moves fast, work cuts clean, I need some space between the scenes. But I'd rather not remember my dreams. I'd rather leave my dreams behind, Where moonlight keeps what daylight finds. Five lives before the morning light, I wake up full, but need my mind. The night remembers... So I don't have to... I'd rather leave my dreams behind, Where moonlight keeps what daylight finds. Five lives before the morning light, I wake up full, but need my mind. These days the night turns wide again, My pillow plays a private film. Five different stories before the dawn, Then 3:40 pulls me on. In dreams I’m calm, I never break, I solve the storms before I wake. No fear can shake me, no walls stay high, I move like water through the sky. But morning comes with heavy shoes, And I don’t need that dream-world news. My head gets crowded, rooms too bright, Too many echoes from the night. Some things are better left unseen, Softly living in between. I know that world, I know its streams, But I'd rather not remember my dreams.
