You keep me up at night
When I should be dreaming, right
But when I close my eyes
Brush the stars away with a smile
Start to fall into blackness
Then the darkest expanses
Envelope me into the lucid path
Mind goes too fast to just relax
Heard that certain ninja skills
Teach assassins to sneak uphill
Into unsuspecting dreamers still
Reclining until they move in for the kill
Get ready for the evening
Ready for my mind’s wandering
Vaguely slipping into lucid dreaming
If only I could remember the real things
But it’s too much
To just wake up
And remember enough
To change my luck
So I can’t wait to get tired
Busy sleep is what’s required
Can’t wait to see what transpires
When we slip over the astral trip wire
Never know what’s in store
Through Morpheus’ back door
Till you hit the floor
And decide there is no reason to run for
Realize that everything is nothing
And less is more
Whatever you allow for
Is what you are in for
And before you are done for
You ought to know the score
Nox – subconscious
