STILL UNFINISHED!

A week without my little roommate was rough. This is the song I wrote at the end of that week.

lyrics

slowly fading
through thoughts invading
been uneasy
since my dreams have been hazy

as i'm sleeping
the dreams come near
the moment before they reach me
i swear they disappear
i want what i can't get in my sleep

i won't let this be
my mind will be free
and i will never stop believing in it

all i need is a piece of time
and leave all my problems behind
see what i want to see
i can be who i want to be
and do the things i love to do
my friend you'd be there with me too

when reality's ever against me
or no one understands me
i'd think of those dreams
but they're not there

• • • • • • • • • • •

morning, waking
how long will i take it
no dreams to ease me
so nothing ever frees me

until i see you sleeping
before the dawn starts creeping
you look so peaceful and
in that moment i feel so tranquil
i love to see you at peace when you dream

i need to let you be who you are
so you can dream so free
it's been my only peace of mind

and in that piece of time
my problems are left behind
while you see what you want to see
when you're who you want to be
all those things you love to do
my friend you take me there with you

when reality's ever against me
or no one understands me
the thoughts of you dreaming
help ease the despair

no despair
