Bad Dreams

I was watching her sleep

I was watching her breathe

I was watching her dream

I hoped she was dreaming of me...

The room was stale and sodden

It's 85 in Autumn

I thought it was hot in here

But it's hot outside

And I thought about my problems

Everybody wants to solve them

But problems are problems

And these problems are mine

Then I think about time...

I have time, right? Right? Right?

Ben crossed the street just a little too late

So he's gone and I accept that it's fate

It's just fate, what's so great about fate?

Don't get me started on fate.

I saw Ben

In a dream last night

I asked about heaven and he said "Heaven's alright."

Of course it is man

You're still sharp as a knife!

I asked about heaven

And he said "Heaven's just fine."

That's the tyranny,

That's the identity

Of time as a body fifteen feet in the air

All that concrete

Versus timing

What about destiny and Hollywood endings?

I'm not smashing any mirrors

I'm not walking under ladders

I'm not opening umbrellas

I'm not sparking with white lighters

It's just every time we try to meet

Liz was far away from me

In essence or by space

It took Ben

It took death

It took time

Yeah it took time.

I exhale my smoke towards the rotating fan

Liz wakes from her dream then she squeezes my hand

She says "Good morning."

Good morning!

You look so precious just dreaming of me!

She blinked and laughed me off...

She says "Boy if you knew I wasn't dreaming of you...

You are dreaming of me.

Still right now you imagine me say

these words right back at yourself."

Then I woke myself shaking from deja vu.

I saw Ben

I saw Her

I've got Luck

I've got Fate

I've got Time...

Bad dreams... It was like a bad dream woah.
