Sleeping Still As I Am

Look here
Come see my world
It's really their world
If only they could see...
You know
Where we've gone to
We see the same view
All the lines
They fail to dream
Your crowd
Lines this place out
Moves us from our cloud
I need my paints with me right now
Truths stand
With the lies now
Mixed together somehow
Especially in the lies I see

I stand
None no no no one else but me now
None no no no one else can see how
One day their world will accept me
Maybe you will see

She tries
To stay in my frame
Stoneface and hollow
With no one to bring her love
All the subtle games, tells, and twitches she plays
She sells her lies that she believes
She leaves
I can't place her
Someone to follow
But no one
That ranks for me
Look here
The scams that I see
That no one else sees
Maybe our leader
Will come find me

I stand
To draw the webs alive with greed around me
To distill the shames of need
My dreams
Stay crystal clear for me
My paintings
Someday you will see
