No, thank you!

Sometimes it’s dreams
Sometimes it’s just lies
The eye listens better than the ear
But we choose to ignore
Like you ignored everything I tried to show you
They say that pain is an illusion
And somehow we find comfort in it
Truth is, it is the only ground to stand on
Forget the lies you’ve learnt
On the way to one’s beloved
there are no hills, just streams
The road back here would drown you
And if you make it out alive
I’d still have to say no
