Reason


Man lived in darkness.

Man discovered fire... man learned to fear fire.

Man discovered religion... man learned to fear religion.

Man discovered different tribes... man learned to fear difference.

Man learned to reason... reason took away much of man's fears.

The universe blinked.

Man began to fear the loss of fear... fear kept man alive.

Man began to forsake reason for fear.

Man returned to darkness.

rewind


words…
sounds…
bits and chops…
swirling ‘round my brain…
just tryin' to make some sense…
sleep eludes…
dawn intrudes…

i can't love you any more…
don't wanna love you any less…

you're in my heart…
you're in my head…
your scent and sight color my world…
i'm drowning in your love…
don't throw me out a line…
floating…
drifting…
colors shifting…
clock ticks out a rhyme…
my heart is keeping time…

i can't love you any more…
don't wanna love you any less…

i'll kiss away your fears…
and drink up all your pain…
don't give up…
we're almost there…
no white flags…
no surrender…
gonna make this work…
i can't live without you…
don't make me learn that game…

here's the deal…
sorrow follows tears…
pain later for the happiness now…
is the joy something we only borrow…?
no more doubts…
no more fears…
can't think about that now…
just gotta do it…
take my hand…
you have my heart…

sunlight fades…
evening shades…

if i close my eyes…
will it all end tomorrow?

clock stops… times up… pencils down.

rewind?

DREAMS

          ~ 

In dreams... 
movie reel unwinds... 
stutter... stop... start. 
In dreams... 
a life unfolds.
