Delusia

The poor soul of a dreamer.

Misty clouds froth the edges of my mind

Forming a cushion, a gentle barrier inside

This inner refuge, this land of peace

Is secured by a wall that's unable to breech

 

Here I do not stumble, here I stand tall

My back is straight, no oppresion from my law

It's okay, there are no crooked things here

Only straight lines to walk on; all is clear

 

Is it not safe to say, that Delusia is a better way

Take my hand and I'll lead you through, leave fool, become me,

Because I am God in this galaxy

Follow my step, close your eyes, discard the curse

Just You and I in this universe.

Sing it, this eternal verse:

Just you and I in this universe

Just you and I in this universe

 

Just you and I until the froth disappears

And then it's just me and my miserable tears

I frantically try again to raise my defense

Titanic betrayed me, the cold making me tense

And I've lost the ability to concentrate

Oh, such a cruel, pathetic fate

Can't escape....

Can't place...

A way to..

Delusia.

I like this one much better. It has a nice name with an interesting picture to go along with it. I love the repitition in the third stanza and the certainty of the speaker's tone. I also loved "And I lost..." until the end in the last stanza. It emphasizes the idea that he's lost the ability to concentrate - a nice touch. I know what it's like to have the poor soul of a dreamer, so I appreciate the sentiment behind this. :)
