And then I told her to close her eyes. Part 1

Wakes up. Looks around. The darkness blinds him. He hears a faint rhythm that begins to become clearer and clearer. Almost unconsciously he removes the headphone from his ear, the only device that seems to help him sleep soundly and help him escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As he begins to orient himself to his surroundings, he scans the room for the familiar gleam of moonlight through the break in the shades. It shines on the clock that would give him a sense of time and direction. After blindly staring at the hands of the clock he realized that it was way too early for him to be awake, and that he was wasting his own valuable sleeping time by staying awake. He feels around for the pillow, his vehicle back into Dreamland. Closing his eyes he let out a satisfying sigh of relief and security. In the morning he would have to go out into the world, regardless of how safe he felt within the constraints of his own bed. It was as if in his slumber nothing could go wrong. Not a soul could do him harm in his own dominion. He realized that he will always find comfort in the familiar: the safest place he had known.

You only see what I let you see, nothing less and nothing more.

It starts with a mumble like... uh.
And the letters come together like I'm opening a letter
From a place that I've never been.
Written to myself from myself like a message in a bottle.
Or a capsule in time, an immaculate find.
Feeling like a mine who could finally speak his mind.
Everything I want to say - my dreams and insecurities.
Everything I want to be - music is a part of me, it floats through my arteries and speaks from the heart of me.
Sometimes it's hard for me to open up, honestly.
And honestly that's the part of me that really wants a part of you.

Just hear what I'm saying like Socrates, because I know a little something about life - and what it means to ME.

Keep your eyes focused on the mercury skies.
And say what you need to say.
