Fantasies

This was written as I got out of something unhealthy and started something that was ridiculously good for me.

Your swimming pool of dollar bills
Solid gold sunglasses on my face
Laughter seeps from the whitest teeth
Indulgence and diamonds adorn this place

We took off fast when we were young
Ran away from our shipwreck lifestyle
Luck and fate intertwined like our fingers
We drank and gambled and danced for awhile

How it happened, I was never sure,
But every thing fell before us at our feet
The Aztec legend, this city of gold
Was where our fantasies and lives did meet

As text messages pass under our desks
Vibrations in our pockets are the new whisper
Promises made in silence are still understood
The note that we pass is the new glass slipper

Fairy tales of princesses in dungeons
They're so necessary where we're at now
Escape is inevitable, excitement contagious
I'll let all my hair down, you'll climb up anyhow

Who knows whether we'll get that far
Walking through these dreams like walking on knives
These hands slip together like a foot and a slipper
Our quiet visions will save each other's lives.
