Silver Linings

You can confuse yourself with reality
Trying to fit imaginary story lines
Avoiding any possibilities or signs
Meeting fiction with desire
What you don’t know is that
Your mind is the liar

You’re walking on the ground
But your head is in the clouds
You confuse questions with answers
And you wake early Sunday morning
Your eyes clear but your head is not
Then check the calendar to see what you forgot

You keep reality as a secret
Opening your mouth but closing your eyes
Try your best to meet halfway with perfect
You can see the sun shining
Smiling and ignoring the drizzle
Thinking you’ll find some silver lining
