I close my eyes
And dream of tomorrow
Perfect tomorrow
With no pain
No worries
No constraints
Golden age some would say

Then I open my eyes
And realise that tomorrow never comes
Today is forever
It is my future
I close my eyes to escape
But I dream of yesterday
That yesterday filled with tears
Pain and disappointment

I try to open my eyes again
But they won't let me open them
I realise that I'm trapped
In a yesterday that I hate
I see a door called 'future'
I run to it
It opens to death

I'm not living anymore
People are around me
Weeping and wondering what went wrong
I wake up suddenly
And point my finger at them
"You did it, all of you"
And I die again
But this time, I'm satisfied
I've said what I had to say
And they listened

I close my eyes as I die
To a future that I want
Perfection with all its flaws
Coldness
Elusiveness
Detachment
I finally have what I want
I smile and they cry.
