living in dreams

your picture on the wall

is moving by the wind. the fan is turned up high. i'm frozen to the bone. and yet i like the effort. and i cannot stand to go and turn it off. it's nights like these

i'm not distracted by the sound. i sit for hours in a chair inside my head. there's one more in the attic. if i brought it down

you think you'd like to join me

tonight?

and so my dreams

they fill me up. they bring me down

and the dry me up. when i'm with you though

smiling

as i know

i only have so long

before the sun will rise. a quiet slumber creeps across me

i am taken. i feel so unrehearsed

i'm walking all alone. and when the light is fading

i'm not surprised to see none other than your own. and so my dreams

they fill me up. they bring me down

and they dry me up. when i'm with you though

smiling

as i know

i only have so long

before the sun will rise. and i've been waiting for this

parallel universe to traverse the distance

from mind to matter. let it be for real. let me know my future

let me be free. let me be at ease

please. pretty please. and so my dreams

they fill me up. they bring me down

and they dry me up. when i'm with you though

smiling

as i know

i only have so long

before the sun will rise. will rise. when will it rise?
