DANGER - SOMNAMBULISTS

Sleepers

Wear their unfortunate masks of innocence

With sway and pride as Dorian Gray

Sleepers

Say they did not mean to

When internal injury makes you see the pictures of your life

Sleepers

Repeat words already spoken by a million, in millennia

Spreading judgement and fear and fear of judgement

Sleepers

Swap their friends and lovers, swiftly, casually

Because there’s always other people out there

Should you find one today

Shake him so he wakes

But if unresponsive let him sleep

The dreamers are out of our reach

Followers of Morpheus’ path

We have no choice, we let the sleepers go
