Dreaming

from About An American by Strothers

lyrics

Back, back, back against the wall
No time to close my eyes
No time to recognize
I heard pressing, pressing, pressing
In my chest, a rushing in my head
Had just minutes to keep guessing
At the games, games, games
That we hadn’t been addressing
We refuse to keep undressing
As I sit, sit, sit
I’ll be the context for your weather
The lie when you know better
The one who’s having fun
And I’ll go down, down, down
I’m feeling down I’ll turn around, ‘round, ‘round
When I feel, when I feel
It’s a window to a blind
It’s a lock to a bind
It’s my heart to my mind
When I swear I show you my disguise, my disguise

Thoughts are words to a joke
Confusion not spoke
And a reason to think, think, think
Alone in the world, alone with the world
I’ll spell, spell, spell, my name with an I
Conceited and conceited
I guess that we’re mistreated
A cross, cross, cross, was walked a thousand miles
To the New York state, it’s a New York day
It’s a pillar in the sky, it’s the other form of I
That I tell, tell, tell myself: “wishing you well”
Wishing you well

Asleep, sleep, sleep
Burnin’ in the heat and waking to my shaking
I was dreaming more than dreaming
I was close to something seeming
What was more than myself and more than I knew
I believe, leave, leave
Alone to be free, alone to the sky
Darkness and existence
It was missing, wishing, waiting, changin’
Angered by the ways
That were making my escape
Difficult, impatient
I’ll be here for a while, I’ll be here, here
