Lucid Dreaming

(album: Memos From Maine - 2022)

I know that
I said you
Could call me when you're feeling low
But I didn't
Mean I'd meet you
At a depth that only you can go

Are you tired?
Are you sleeping?
Cause I woke up with your ghosts again
I was open
You were homeless
I can't help but let you in

When I sleep I dream you're yelling at me in a parking lot
And I try to calm you down but you just wouldn't stop
Spilling all the ugly thoughts I thought I kept under lock and key
And you're just standing there shouting them at me

You didn't mean it
You never do
But now in my dreams I
Keep hearing you

Built a wall in
The garden
Cause your skeletons kept getting in
Now it's raining
And they're shivering
And I'm drowning in the guilt again
I wish I
Knew how to
Send them on their way instead
But I cleared out the closet and made the bed

When I sleep I dream you're yelling at me in a parking lot
And I try to calm you down but you just wouldn't stop
Spilling all the ugly thoughts I thought I kept under lock and key
And you're just standing there shouting them at me

You didn't mean it
You never do
But now in my dreams I
Keep hearing you

Hurt people
Hurt people
But how long till
I hurt too
Hurt people
Hurt people
But how long till
I hurt you

So I won't turn my phone off
And I wont close the door
Guess I'd be there if it killed me
So you don't hurt anymore
