The Dream is a Lie

A dream is the life of a lie

With stories to tell in the blink of an eye

Long, short, and sometimes forgetful

Yet it's not entirely blissful

Some nights the darkness comes in fast

With guns, daggers, and blood soaked masks

Running and screaming the shrieks your hearing

Muttering and suffering till you wake up screaming

A lie you tell yourself, mostly calming

To ease yourself from the midnight calling

The real world awaits your day begins

Until at last your long day ends

Everything you want is here

Relax and enjoy, your mind clear

This is your life for you to enjoy

Till you wake up and scream filling with noise

A dream is the life of a lie

With stories to tell in the blink of an eye

Reminding you of your pitiful life

And the lie that awaits after you die
