Because I Can

I keep on looking through the looking glass
And I want to fall on through
Out of the real world to a happy day
Out of the wreckage that I do
I keep on dreamin because
I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on tripping because it's free to a place
I only know
I keep on dreaming because
I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slipping out of this life
Still my hand won't go to the other side
My boney fingers stay locked here
The glass is cold
when I touch my face
But I can taste my salty tears
I keep on dreaming because
I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on tripping because it's free to a place
I only know
I keep on dreaming because
I can even though my eyes don't close
I keep on slipping out of this life waiting for the drapes to close
Mirror mirror won't you kiss my cheek
And tell me
I'll be ok
And warm my spirit with your sugar lips
And help me wait for another day
