only a dream

he finds endless adventures

in cups of coffee

laced with LSD

he craves constant excitement

and crashing waves

as he sips his tea

and as far as I know

nobody's been able

to see the things he's seen

what is his daily life

would be for me

only a dream

when he's not taking risks

he pounds his fists

against the wall

seeing an invader

and the cruelty 

and unfairness of it all

but when his mind is open

and he's begging

to be seen

he comes to be

what I'll never know

except in only a dream

take me far away from here

I know my home

waits for me

visions from another plane

show me

what I could be

what is left for me

is the search to be

a human being

trying to make reality

more than only a dream
