Riots in my mind

i see the luminous paint 
reflecting the stars in the dark 
i wouldn't see anyone else 
leaning out of the rear window 

i can hear someone scream in the dark 
or is that a song no one understood? 
My mind cried like the wavy sea 
the mirror was the witness 

i looked at the mirror 
it's the same old face 
tried out different expressions 
sick and tired of looking at it 

stood up with hazy dreams 
moonshine helped the silent steps 
held the empty hourglass in hand 
the buzzing in my ears became loud

i could follow the steps of the song 
as she tossed her long blonde curls 
memories flowed unabated 
gust of wind flung autumn leaves 

the eerie light that hid behind 
my flashing dark eyes 
as i could feel the sand 
like a blanket of thick wet mud 

woke, shivering to sunlight on my face 
i punched the earth in despair 
there was no scream,song but illusion 
just the riots in my mind
