Drift Away

Neon Wings's picture

Listen to podcast while reading. I do not own music-just solely the writing.

Drift away,
Away drift away,
O I drift away
In this land of tears and dreams,
I must drift away in order to not give in.
The clouds have turned grayer and grayer over the years,
And these pages have become dusty,
But I can't help but drift away.
Nowadays,
I find myself slipping,
Dreaming when drifting,
My smiles becoming plastic,
Frozen in time like the land.
Nowadays,
I can't remember yesterday,
But I can't live in today;
Time was once wrapped around my finger,
But now it has been lost,
For I no longer think of tomorrow.
Drift away,
But don't dream,
Cause I'm afraid you won't wake up again;
In this land,
The rules are different.
Don't dream,
Since then, you'll just be another puppet roaming the land,
Spreading the dreams over the seas.
Drift away,
But don't dream,
And don't blink,
Cause I'm afraid you won't open your eyes again.
Drift away,
But don't dream,
And don't blink,
And don't breath,
Cause I'm afraid you won't have another breathe to spare.
In this land of tears and dreams,
I must drift away in order to not give in.
The clouds have turned grayer and grayer over the years,
And these pages have become dusty,
But I can't help but drift away.
In this land of tears and dreams,
I must drift away in order to not give in.
The clouds have turned grayer and grayer over the years,
And these pages have become dusty,
But I can't help but drift away.
In this land,
What can I do now,
Since drifting will not protect me forever?
