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
