Dagna - Bembeya Jazz National

Dream and live forever

immortality, a life devoid of suffering

losing myself in the incorporeal

aspirations and desires

I define the architecture within.

synapses fire, reality begins

my mind is my shelter where loving arms cradle my fragile spirit

I’ll watch you burn before I open my eyes

I am awake inside a thousand fleeting thoughts.

is this where I belong?

with shut eyes and clenched fists?

escaping the nightmare of my reality

Dream ends: Reality begins

awakened, I fall back into the world

I say my prayers as my face meets the concrete

BRING ME BACK!

heavy breathing, blurry vision

am I unable to change anything?

is nothing under my control?

once again, I must face my demons.

I must face you.

wake up, please wake up

I am the change that the whole world fears

they will know what I’ve done, they will know who I am

let your mind speak

I am the change that the whole world fears

you are irrelevant, you are a burden

they know nothing, leave them be.

follow the dream, child

not in your sleep, but in your waking life

throw your dreams into the world

I don’t have to tell you everything

so dont act like I owe you anything

in my sleep i dream of destroying you

in my waking life, I dont have to

what is it like to sleep forever?

this reality is mine to change

my dreams will become my reality

a lie no longer borne from slumber

my eyes are now open, my walls are now windows

i dont need to escape anymore

our dreams become our actions

our stories become our memories

I chase my dreams with eyes wide open
