"Not all who wander are lost."
"Everything has a crack in it. That;s how the light gets in."

I live half here, in a
Misty, not-all-there
In-between
Where reality is when
You close your eyes
And life
Is just a dream

Dreamland
Is my reality
I have a nasty habit-
I sleepwalk all the time

You see me here,
But this is just my shell

Dreams are my escape
Waking up is embracing
Hell
Keep everything
An arms length away
It’s so much easier
This way

I live in dreams

Wake me
And I’ll die
