Analysis of hideaway
I hope that I can save
all that remains of yesterday
tattered and tarnished memories,
before they burn away
Lay myself down to rest at last and slip away
into a lucid dream neverending,
a fantasy of yesterday
can I pretend it never happened
believe in false recollections
blind to actuality
manufacture a new reality
just long enough to lull me
into everlasting sleep
if I forget the world's misdeeds
then paradise may rescue me
I won't find the strength
to regain my breath
and keep my heart beating
peace
silence
no senses
no pain
