Written in October 2013

lyrics

Every night I dream a lucid dream of you walking through the door, taking out some book of poetry and reading it on the floor
We're talking it all over and we're laughing at ourselves because we're sheltered from the future for a while inside this cell
We want to feel young and we want to feel alive, but still we crave sadness and rain falling from the sky
We've made rules just to discard them, still too scared to break the law and though we dream of California we know we'll settle for some flaws
Are we gonna waste our youth crying over people we can't have? thinking about places we can't go? yearning for some missing half? Are we gonna spend our time all alone every night, writing songs we haven't lived and searching for some inner light?
Nobody told me it might end up feeling like hell, nobody told me but I figured it out just as well
After all it was just a lucid dream that pulled me in the zone, and in reality I have the poetry but I'm reading it alone
We're getting too bored and weak to stay alive, but we're much too young and far too scared to die
