Dream Snatchers
The day I learnt about the bomb
A ripple in the plastic sea
A tower on a field of rooks
That could distort reality
My mother took me to the shrine
To glance upon the sacred metal
Within the sheltered concrete cave
A garden full of poison petals
Dream snatchers
Have come for me
They want to take
My liberty
The howling of a distant scream
A spreading silence filled with tension
Slipping through the growing cracks
A peace without renewed extension
The dust that took my brother's lungs
The smatter of the scorching rain
I peeked out from my hiding spot
The city, now a sea of flames
Dream snatchers
They will survive
They left us here
To burn alive
We struggled to confront the weight
Of everything that's come to pass
Remembering the better days
Without this choking toxic gas
The crops that perished on the fields
The sun that ripped with burning claws
This frightful power that we wielded
Left us blind to our own flaws
Dream snatchers
What can we do
When no-one's left
But just us two
Dream snatchers
Are we the same
To close our eyes
And shift the blame
A ripple in the plastic sea
A tower on a field of rooks
That could distort reality
My mother took me to the shrine
To glance upon the sacred metal
Within the sheltered concrete cave
A garden full of poison petals
Dream snatchers
Have come for me
They want to take
My liberty
The howling of a distant scream
A spreading silence filled with tension
Slipping through the growing cracks
A peace without renewed extension
The dust that took my brother's lungs
The smatter of the scorching rain
I peeked out from my hiding spot
The city, now a sea of flames
Dream snatchers
They will survive
They left us here
To burn alive
We struggled to confront the weight
Of everything that's come to pass
Remembering the better days
Without this choking toxic gas
The crops that perished on the fields
The sun that ripped with burning claws
This frightful power that we wielded
Left us blind to our own flaws
Dream snatchers
What can we do
When no-one's left
But just us two
Dream snatchers
Are we the same
To close our eyes
And shift the blame
