Things I Dream

(album: Dirty Acres - 2007)

I had a dream and it was so strange, so strange
I had a dream and it was so strange, so strange

Ah, deep perspiration, heartless and impatient
My angel's just a devil from shoulder to shoulder pacing
Filling my gaze with hate, eyes cold as Alaskan basements
Aimed at records for targets while labels look like the Masons
I hang around outside of they building amongst the vagrants
Dangerous, loaded stainless, maturity plus minority
Cool as cues, but cocked back is the priority
One in the flesh, lights, cops just stop where they stand
As I proceed to beat the publishing up outta this man
Telling him "Get the fuck up!" They yellin "How could he stand?"
I don't expect him to, bitch, I counted close to the land
Louisville slugger cover every inch of his nogging
Bobbing with every strike, asking "What heaven like?"
The reverend might win a visit, that is if his spirit is near it
But if you yield towards hell you'd hear it more vivid
But I'm under slumber, ya get it?
To see it I'd have to let you all...

See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream

Yeah, once upon a time I seen it clearer than the bluest day
Got off in some crime seen that line turn blueish-grey
Humoring themselves about murder, pussy and politics
Word around the world is money and I want all of it
World crooked like St. Ide's eyes acknowledge this
Just ask them Virginia Tech college kids
While you wait for apologies, I'm low like a fox
Get between me and your rocks, I'll put your ass in the box
I feel the odds favor robbing a world without God
Money's the language, in humanity you need Visa cards
I need your cash and your car before I smash your facade
Or watch this classic toy make you collapse to the side, under the yard boy
Since a child these thoughts lurking in my shadows
Heard 'em placing wages on how will I face my battles
Accelerate to add dope feel but never faulted
I'm standing upon rock that'll make powder out Gibraltar

See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream

Fumbling with sweat on my fingers, something impetuous lingers
Become infected with feelings so I'm electing this evil
To end my life without reason cause I'm indicted for treason
Closing my eyes and I'm leaking, dragging the knife till I'm bleeding
Cause it's the life that I'm seeking, feels only right that I'm meeting
With Jesus seeking redemption but he don't want my repentance
For he who feels my intention sees that my deepest impression
Is feeding me to these demons that lurk and feed on my essence
The pain is deep in my chest and I keep repeating my blessings
Ever since a meek adolescence that saw me beaten by freshmen
Parents repeatedly sentenced, heroin needles on dressers
They use to feed their infection, I can't repeat indescretions
So I pause for reflection, long for honest affection
And getting lost in the music is only soothing for stretches
If you knew where my head is when I'm doing these records
You'd never listen to my music again, I can't let you...

See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream
See the things I dream

I will know how things can be...
"I want to live a real life... I don't want to dream any longer"
