Disclose the torment of the mind
I tiptoe on the walls at night
And close the doors behind my days
In search of never ending light
In front of overwhelming ways.
The fairies gathered in my bed
Would swallow feathers from inside
All rapture floating in my head
When all those dreams in dreams collide.
I tiptoe on the walls and wait
Engraved in silence fairies burn
They always seem to be too late
Still never failing to return.
