Not real

are you real or are you a mystery?
an attempt to cause commotion
finding a need for connection
turning away to find what is real

fanning the flames of broken souls
selling your soul for rock and roll
everybody living in a fantasy
a disconnection from reality

Memories

Far away the summer blazed hills stand
While the frozen lakes sit idle
Waiting for their breath
The flight of fresh young wings

Forgetting what was once real
A betrayal of one who got lost
In the ways of disturbed visions
An invisible stain on the heart

A wish once sent to the moon
Only to spiral back to earth, to death
Black-cloaked in any season
Memories buried for simple reasons
