# Dream

Days lost in dreams  
In worlds beyond worlds  
I rest to awaken  
Body arched, feet curled

They're the feet of a stranger  
Borrowed skin for a while  
To roam a foreign planet  
A mystical aisle  
Where tongues speak no meaning  
Empty words filled with lies  
Taught by their captors  
Who feed off their cries  
Only truth shines inside  
For the ones who dare try  
The rebels  
The revolutionaries

We give praise to their mothers  
Portal keepers  
Givers of breath to a revolution  
Givers of chance to awake from illusion  
A storm to wash away pollution  
An absolution

Inside this skin, I feel the confusion  
Between what is real and what is an illusion  
And so I dream to see the truth then
