As the clock strikes high and eyelids grow heavy,
The world around us slows down at seventy and?
Stops.
But our brains do not.

Our mind creates a fantasy,
All inside our heads
But the only way to see them
Is to return back to bed.

But once in awhile, something new comes.
It's darker, scarier, unlike the other one.
Our minds hate the new visitor, sometimes even disagree.
But the real question is: Is this a fantasy, or  r e a l i t y ?
