Unreal Roses, Unreal Fate

When boats begin to rise offshore

Find an island

And call it peace on earth

I tremble at the sound of such dreams

As the seagulls explode in unison

To what door am I supposed to dream?

Do the walls explode in unison too?

For I am a thief in the night

Stealing dreams,

Oh what a wicked sun it seems

For all my desires are ruined!

Such gifted girls and boys

Run through the shore

And captive boats begin to rise

Do you see all the roses on the shore?

Do you see the children plighting?

For it is such wicked delight, it seems

Cast me upon the shore

I fall upon fate, though fate falls upon me

In dreams I can't explain

What is real is real

And what is fake is fake

There is a rose

For every waking day.
