Reveries - Shadowplay

She lays awake

As the hours escape from her grasp

And feels her world dissolve around her

Her eyes reveal the pain

To an empty glass in her hand

A life built on illusions

Upon the dreams laid out before us

A life beyond reality

Til reveries lay bare their lies

Fading to sleep

She tries to hold the moment

But feels the weight of her own resentment

A moonlit night bathed in gentle radiance

She lies in wait for her last deliverance

A life built on illusions

Upon the dreams laid out before us

A life beyond reality

Til reveries lay bare their lies

The evening news

Screens another tale of regret

As her world unfolds before us

An image of her youth

Belies the empty glass in her hand

A life built on illusions

Upon the dreams laid out before us

A life beyond reality

Til reveries lay bare their lies
