PINCH mE

The noise in my mind
Is the thick silence
Whispering madness
Between dark purple lips

Pinching won't wake me up
Wake me up from this reality
And return our dreams to me

Our relationship
Etched deep in my membrane
An intricate and meaningful tattoo
Faded from unwanted sun exposure

Pinch, please wake me up
I can't believe this reality
I believed in the dreams we made

Deception on a wave
How I long for it to break
And reveal anticipated truths
To make it all clear

Pinched, still can't wake
I can't hide from reality
Our dreams have become a nightmare

Rose pedals fall apart
Unveiling a smoking gun
Russian roulette isn't my game
Fate spins ominously

Pinch me, wake up
Rise from reality's bed
Don't abandon our dreams
Don't abandon me
