My Own Bad Dreams

(album: Texas Collectious - 2022)

Why do I wake up sad for no reason
Like my own bridge was burned in sleep
Rise on an island
Just me and my own bad dreams

Heart like butter in the sun
Mind like wine left in a mug

Why do I want things I've never seen
Miss places I've never been before
Spiritually speaking
Who's even keeping score

Eyes like skies during the pour
Breath like coals already burned

I don't mind wasting your time
Feels like I'm falling behind

Someday I'll think of these simpler times
And remember me fine and smiling
Then cross my bridge on fire
And enter my own bad dreams

Heart like butter in the sun
Mind like wine left in a mug

Why don't you stay here with me
From the shore we can look out to sea
