"Dreamer"

I slipped into a tired unconsciousnes
After hours of being cold and awake

Dreams are their own reality
And these were so tender and sweet

I held you so warm and dearly
On the shore of some unknown sea
The sun set red against a faraway storm
And was fantastically bright and near
The cracks in our fingers were glowing
And your hair was electric

In my dream you were next to me
But it was only a dream, and I, only the dreamer
And like all dreams and nightmares
They’re only real as long as they last
And I must wake again to the bitter air
While they exist somewhere in the past
Leaving something guilty
Something lasting in the back of my mind
When I woke, I was all alone
This time I know for good
Now everything hurts
Like everything lovely should
