Cut

“Is this a fucking movie?
Did someone cut the scene?”
She falls out of a nightmare
Drops closer to a dream

“Is this an ancient chorus?
What is going on?
Who left all these notes for me?
Why’s my life a song?”

She hears –
Come on, join the circus
Come on, bring your noise
Bring your butterflies and smile
Jump in, back to joy
Rainbow hair and golden eyes
Comfort, sleep, and no more lies

Lions sing,
Tightropes bring the ground to its knees

“What the hell is happening?
How’d I get back here?”
She wakes up to happy
She wakes up to clear

“Now I know who’s writing this
Now I am not scared
Now I know he’s found himself
Now I know he cares”

A day leads back to sleep
