Dream Away the Pain

Go to sleep, shut your eyes
Fill your thoughts with lullabies,
The screaming pain floats away
As dreams lead your damaged mind astray.

No need to move, not even a blink,
No tears to cry, no thoughts to think,
For only in dreams can we truly escape
Our minds cannot harm us like when we're awake.

We can be rescued by the bravest knights
Or climb a mountain of the highest heights,
On the lightest cloud we can spin and float
Or sail the ocean on a golden boat.

Taken to another land
The anticipation of a place unplanned,
Under cover of darkness, take an easy breath
Something which ventures away from death.

Do not fear the time you awake
When the heaven you lived begins to break,
For now there is something to live for it seems,
Those nights of comfort in your beautiful dreams.
