Velvet steel

Don’t wake me up

Let me dream of silence

Let me lose my self in eternal bliss

Let me smile with carefree solitude

Let me lust after an angel’s kiss

 

Don’t wake me up

Please let me sleep

Let me just enjoy the rainy nights

Please let me dream of yesterday

Of one of my many previous lives

 

Let me go,

Just let me go!

Please don’t bring back reality

It and I are at civil war

It always seems to attack me

 

Why do I have to believe in what I see?

Imaginary whispers are just as real

Why can’t I go without a struggle

And just live my life like velvet steel?

 

Raining sun

And

Scorching cold,

Sweaty blizzards,

Cowering bold

Nothing is impossible in my dreams

I hate the harshness of reality

Everything mostly as it seems,

The suicide of possibility

 

Let me drift into peaceful slumber

Close my eyes

And live beautifully

Too afraid to open them

‘Cause living nightmares

Are all I see.
