The world spins fast

Leaving me lying on my back

My head is in the clouds

Leaving me daydreaming out loud

In my mind 

It isn't hard to find

The peace and quiet

Unlike the world's noisy riots

My brain cannot feel the pain

Unlike my fragile heart

Because it is the one with all the smarts

My memories take place

Reminding me of face after face

One in particular draws me in

Taking me places I've never been

My imagination goes wild

Always making me smile

This dark and empty world

Could use a light

So I dreamt up one to take away our fright.
