I Had Another Dream

I had another dream about our wedding day
I wrote it down with the light from the screen
My mismatched coat and tie, you on the phone in white
Just like a Don, no one at my side
Can we slow it down
I haven’t played the market yet
Can we slow it down
There’s hip replacements and gray hair
I’m walking to the stage, bright lights and curtain calls but
I can’t remember the words or the notes I have to play
Fighting come far too close with what I rehearsed for
What does it say when you can’t even win when you dose
Can we slow it down
My sophomore slump has gone, I guess
Can we slow it down
10 years went faster than 10 pounds
Can we slow it down
Can I just hold you close
Can we slow it down
I need the serum and the pills
Can we slow it down
I’ve got a knack for wasting time
Can I just hold you close

Ocean Sounds For Sleep

Climb to the top of the mountain
Hold up the spar to the sun
I’m trying to see the refractions
If I throw it, where will it land?
There’s a burning pit in my stomach
At the thought of unfilled potential
Took a ransom fit for a home
Just to try to make this successful
I want to move at the speed of light
I’m cut in two with one clean strike
The mountaintop was no more than a hill
“Just let go” said the good winter chill
Step in the green brown water
The crystal’s a solid rock
There’s nothing but jagged edges
If I throw it, where will it stop
I want to move at the speed of light
I’m cut in two with one clean strike
The mountaintop was no more than a hill
“Just let go” said the good winter chill
The longest shore will wash us away
With a sound confusing our brains
I can’t see the floating castles
Or an ocean to wash down my throat
I’m the man in the art from the cover
I’m barefoot without a coat
I want to move at the speed of light
I’m cut in two with one clean strike
The mountaintop was no more than a hill
“Just let go” said the good winter chill
The longest shore will wash us away
With a sound confusing our brains

Take time to call your friends before you have none left
Tell yourself you’re far away and that it’s all for the best
Close your lips and hide away the fear and all the rest
Until you’re forced to excavate these things deep in your chest
Is this how it’s supposed to be
The pouring rain in a drought
Crystal clear water from the tap
Take time to fill the page before it leaves your head
Tell yourself you’re on a break and never leave your bed
The paperbacks will pile up, who knows when they’ll be read
I turns the blue light screen for my daily bread
Is this how it’s supposed to be
He wore the stool on his sleeve
Burning sweet whiskey from the shelf
I want to be hit with binaural beats and feel my blood flow from my head to my feet
Can you fly a plane over the blue mountain range, or will it explode in a flaming metal cage
You think you understand all of your new and old friends, but they’ll never tell you when they want it all to end
You said you understand, thought with a level head
But then you turned and you showed your ugly hand
What good’s a man, I said, Soft necks and dirty hands
Well, you can’t pretend when you’re good when it’s happened again

Drone

What forms the drone, is it all you’ve known
I see it in my dreams
And when I sing, what will I bring
These pages I will gleam
I wish I believed in me half as much as you
This is how it’s supposed to be, I’m wishing that were true
What forms the drone, it’s before we’re grown
And everything we’ll be
And when I sing, I try to ring
Beyond the silence when I leave
I wish I believed in me half as much as you
This is how it’s supposed to be, I’m wishing that were true
I’m waiting for a decade more to see what I’ve become
The moleskin books and paperbacks piled up for fun
