Sleeping but not dead
Only waiting
No way to be prepared

For what we knew was coming

Could feel it, the stillness

Like the air would always be pure and bright
The stillness
You could have told me the sun was setting upwards and I'd believe you


End of the illusion
Beginning of over

One magic hour breaks
The fall from forever


Waking as it planned
Darkens, changes
No way to return to

The light we knew was fading
