Dream Was About
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You never told me what that dream was about
And I keep trying but I can't shake it out
You know you know you know, you know you know you know
A trail of bodies but I can't seem to find
Someone to fill the space that you left behind
You know you know you know, you know you know you know
You're the rafter I've been hanging from, you know
I can't live without it
How'd you let it go
I'm so beat up about it
Everybody knows
You never told me what that dream was about
Been digging everywhere the yard is a mess
I know it's here somewhere, I know it's here somewhere
Shovel me down give me whatever's gonna hurt less
Fistful of dirt, I'm coming back up to the surface
You know you know, you know you know you know
You're the brick wall I've been banging on, you know
I can't live without it
How'd you let it go
I'm so beat up about it
Everybody knows
You never told me what that dream was about
Can't go can't go can't go
You never told me what that dream was about
Say no say no say no
You're the rafter I've been hanging from
You're the brick wall I've been banging on
I can't live without it
How'd you let it go
I'm so beat up about it
Everybody knows
