asleep and still breathing.

sleeping and dreaming 

or awake, and breathing 

so why do you believe 

if i'm awake in one world..

i'm asleep in another?

i must be different somehow,

from you or any other.

i can listen to you speak 

as i take to the skies

feel pain and wanna scream 

asi look into your eyes

suffer famine, war and die 

yes nod my head and smile  bright.

beaten whipped, to a chair i am tied 

while i laugh and complain, the sun is too bright.

the saying " all days start with darkness" ain't a lie.

i swear it's the truth. can somone dim the lights?
