Swim In The Lake Of Your Dreams

So you thought you would tease it out
Perhaps your beauty was put into a glass jar
As you seduced the mirror in the morning
Only having to rely on your last glorious moment
The night reminiscent of your superficial dreams
Thoughts of romance and fame
Drunken abandon to steady your nerves
You do not feel the strong embrace of his
Sucking in the vision of a lost youth
Standing alone in the abyss of the bar
Observing the last remnants of a written lie
This is the final rapture before the dawn
Fueled by a narcissistic image
Forget the narcotic eclipse of your soul
Use the power of your presence
In the end the flowers have faded
Drying and mourning into dust
The stars will shine upon a new brand of reverie
If the mask would be lowered
Intimacy could be revealed
A scarlet stain upon the floor
Swim in the lake of your dreams
Ignoring the desperation of this world
Soft flesh elicits memory
Drawing on the animal instinct
Your eyes follow the virgin path
Where pleasure followed pain
Then you smiled and saw the landscape
While embracing it in your arms
