Safer When I’m Dreaming

Inspired by the Song “Until the Night is Done” by Luke Sital-Singh

I’ve been walking half asleep

I feel safer when I’m dreaming

The bigger half of me wants to burn the world away

But you told me honestly

You will not grow old with your body young

You will not go home till the night is done

I feel much better now with memories

But some stay razor sharp and always cut me

I wish I had the vision now to help you see

I’ve been walking half asleep

I feel safer when I’m dreaming

The bigger half of me wants to burn the world away

But you told me honestly

You will not grow old with your body young

You will not go home till the night is done

I’ve been lying on the edge of the road giving up

I’m finding it hard

Since forever, since you’ve left me alone to bleed

I’ve been healing my scars

I’m standing again and I’m ready to start

I’ve been walking half asleep

I feel safer when I’m dreaming

The bigger half of me wants to burn the world away

But you told me honestly

You will not grow old with your body young

You will not go home till the night is done

My body is no longer young. The road is getting harder. Honesty is shared by only a few. The night never seems to be done, and I definitely feel the desire to burn the world away.
