Warnings

lets pretend for a moment
that life is just a dream
that the tears of the fallen
are just phony products
of the mental machines

lets just assume for a moment
that the two of us; you and I
are nothing special, nothing more
than childish silhouettes
chasing shadows under the sky

nothing is what they tell you
this is truth; so it seems
the things that should last
end up crashing into the rocks
before reaching the fiends

lets just sit for a moment
bask in the sudden silence
as it wraps its arms around
the base of the earth
to shield us from the violence

lets just dream for a moment
that we could command and create
watching the darkness bloom
into the most fertile of light
waltzing with destiny and fate

lights, cameras, time to wake up
somehow, we fight off the morning
to continue with closed eyes
savoring the sudden realities
that aren't dreams, but warnings
