Slumber

Take my hand, if ever the world should smite you

And if I fall, pick me up to slumber's native

Pull the strings of time and burry yourself in it's decay

Unleash the offerings of heaven and hell

And may you find comfort in the threats of life

If only to tell you once and a million times more

The thoughts are drifting slowly to an endless hate

Between two worlds of love and loss through a reckless nutopia

Yonder down to a meaningful testimonial

In spite of what second offspring to endure

And I have given all I can to a nameless artifact

Thou let it rise and be grateful for its loss and not its find

Drink the age of its time to a barring of some unknown

Get lost in the lies of the words I tell

And bring down a fortune of a vanished idealism

Hold up high the glory I have shown you

And stand fast through the disaster of my living

So tell me what we all want to hear

Tell me once and tell me twice but tell the three times

And I'll know it's real as long as I know if real is real

Stubborn shackles and trends hang on to me

I am one with the lies I tell and the unknown justice I defy

Behind my beauty lays the long lost words

That I long to tell you more and more

So every time a tear has fallen and with every deep sigh

I will show you who I really am

But keep in who I am not

Though don't be fooled by the face I give

I smile to end worlds hate but give back death

I am hesitantly modified as an unknown nation upon myself

Your sorrow lies within its reach so know before you don't

That whatever I will tell you need to be ready for

And whatever I will not tell you should cherish its truth

Brush me off scan my heart for any thought

My mind is in control because the heart has nothing to do with love

But just take a moment to read me through

And know that I really want to tell thee

Of my life but not my love

I'd like to change the world one day

With my story of lies and the smile I give

Though you'll never believe I can I will

All that you say will make my words truer

Make me smile bigger and I'll rise higher with my worldly power

I will be God and you will be my child
