Sleeping is giving in, no matter what the time is. sleeping is giving
in, so lift those heavy eyelids.
people say that you'll die faster than without water. but we know it's
just a lie, scare your son and scare your daughter.
people say that your dreams are the only things that save ya.
come on baby in our dreams, we can live our misbehavior.
every time you close your eyes lies, lies!
people try and hide the night underneath the covers.
people try and hide the light underneath the covers.
come on hide your lovers underneath the covers.
come on hide your lovers underneath the covers.
hidin' from your brothers underneath the covers, come on hide your
lovers underneath the covers.
people say that you'll die faster than without water, but we know it's
just a lie, scare your son, scare your daughter
now here's the sun, it's alright! now here's the moon, it's alright!
now here's the sun, it's alright! now here's the moon, it's alright!
but every time you close your eyes, lies!

"Rebellion"
~Arcade Fire

It seems as if forever I walk in a cold field, being overlooked by time which has become my foe. In this walk, it is eternally gray and cold. You can hear the snow crunching beneath my feet. In some ways, it's serene and beautiful and in some, it's just what it is. Cold and dark and my walk takes me through a journey that will lead to the depths of one's soul. And for one second, maybe a fraction of that second all seem to cease and it became clear that eternity could stare someone in the eye.

You're over. Think I'm kidding?

To sit and play witness to your own end is sobering. Suddenly, you realize day by day, that the theme of your life has been all the time that's been wasted. We'll never get it back. At the current pace, this journey will only end in a reality shrouded in regret. In the end, that may be the only thing by my side.

Was is the intrigue? There are so many reason why it's not a good thing. But, can one be blamed for finding such a venture fascinating if nothing else? To think of the possibilities. Well, in that instance, you might as well be dreaming. And perhaps, that is all it is and all it'll ever be. But, if we stand on the precipice of discovering true enlightenment, to be touched by one moment when for one second all became irrelevant, except for the two deemed star crossed at its inception.

So, where does that leave us tonight. you'd be amazed that I'd put you before all that is customary or expected. Because the rest was a fabrication. Just settling. This however, is dangerous and tempting, but could also bear the most fruitful gift of all. It would be righteous and justified in its beauty. And we'd have the last laugh, because we never knew. And even still, I can explain it, because no one knows. No one supposed to. After all, I'm must be out of my mind. But, I'd be lying to turn my back to and ignored the intrigue. And there in lies the dichotomy between the thought and the actions that call us to rise to a moment that will define us and set the stage for the greatest that human spirit can offer. Thus, we'll live in a reality that could only be seen in a moment. A freeze frame of a dream that may in fact be real. But, you don't know and neither do I.

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why, why, why can't it be
Why can't it be mine?"

~ Eddie Vedder, Pearl Jam
