Fiction

I had the strangest dream, you were lost at sea I found you drowning on the ocean floor I woke from my deep sleep to end the misery I found you lying outside of my door I tried to wake you up, to shake you up And found out you were dead Like a leaf in the wind, you left me standing alone To face the demons in my head We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive A dusty record spins, an old song plays again The needle dragging across its skin Ink spills through my pen, the paper soaks it in The music bringing tremors to my hands I can't just give you up, just lift you up To chance on a dragonfly's wings With my love in the wind You left me standing alone Hoping it brings you back to me We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We are not poets We have no right to make amendments This story's over, this chapter's closing I don't know how it ends But I really don't like how it begins We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're burning pages We're burning pages now
