A Dream I Must See Through

A Dream I Must See Through 

***

Storms are approaching
All directions closing in
I feel it tearing me
Apart from within

Stand up to fall down
Why is it your still around?
These illusions I fall for
Leave me empty without ground

One moment I feel alive
Like a junkie chasing a high
Caught up in this tragic play
Why do I choose to stay?

Is there anyone I can trust?
When this this world such a lie?
Each time my heart breaks more
Making it much harder to try

One moment I feel alive
Like a junkie chasing a high
Caught up in this drama play
Why do I choose to stay?

It is all within, I shape my fate
But the parties over, I arrived too late
Just a prop, a one night show
I realize now, there is nowhere to go

One moment I feel alive
Like a junkie chasing a high
Caught up in this tragic play
Why do I choose to stay?

Wish I had no need for touch
Wish I had no need for love
Wish I had no need for you
This is a dream I must see through

Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...
