[ in a dream i dream ]

in a dream i dream
that you are real
and this little scheme
helps seal the deal

you change your name
like i change my clothes
oh this game
like the sweet red rose

wears thorns a-plenty
a fragrance sweet
but leaves me empty
as the petals retreat

back to the ground
from wence they came
left unfound
never the same

some collect these things
as memories made
they pull at the strings
and in dreams we trade

the old dusty rose
the petals now black
what do you suppose
takes us back

your name again amuses me
as i spell it out
whatever is to be will be
and maybe we'll never figure it out

but in the mean time
i'll keep going to that store
rhyme after rhyme
keeping score

as i buy that cheap rose
and i buy that cheap wine
i guess, i suppose
its all that worth my time

for these things, a dime a dozen
mean so little to me
and they keep on rubbing
the past back into me

i light my candle
draw my pen
like a handle
time and again

like a swordsman
makes his mark
you and i my friend
are about to embark

on a battle of wits
a battle of charm
forget these tits
forget your arm

your guns, leave em home
your six pack, not impressed
my thoughts now roam
a bit obsessed

turn sexual
turn rough
concentual
tough

easy to eyes
hard on the heart
such things you despise
ah just doing my part

to tease you
to ease you
into my mind

to please you
at ease you
nothing like me will you find

on any of these pages
on any of these sites
as a tale of the ages
im not alright

but i can make it rhyme
i can make it merry
forget about the time
lets carry

this
on
someplace else

i rip at your shirt
as i bite at my lip
i begin to flirt
as i sway my hip
up against your mountain
your peak now high
my sweet fountain
can not lie
youth in me you will find
as you and i as one
bump and grind
take my hand
come with me
to never land
lets be free

riddle me this
riddle me that
am i your wish
do you know where im at

do you know what this means
do you fucking care
ripped at the seams
i sit and stare

i begin to think outloud
of what i want to do
these thoughts not allowed
in front of the likes of you

amuse me
bruise me
inside out
and i scream
and i cry
you figure it out

you think i want this
to live this way tonight
you think this is my wish
to not be alright

i want to fuck you madly
i want to be held right now
this i say sadly
because i know somehow

you can see past the bullshit
you see past the tears
you know how i get
and how my short years
and experiences tried and true
run my mind to places i dont want to go
and what you do
what you show
is nothing special to me


white static in my mind
i open my eyes and stare
i have you in my confines
and i dont even care

i ride you like a tidal wave
as if i were a king
these thoughts i will save
as inside i start to sing

mad i may be
insane no doubt
but god damn i feel free
and i want to shout

fuck me now
fuck me here
somehow
show me fear

love me blindly
love me free
hold me kindly
let me
see

you

you

i have shown myself true

i have shown it all

i am through

i will not crawl

i will not cry

i will not quit

i will not try

to explain this shit

just hold me

scold me

treat me kind

act to me as if you're blind

let me lead you with my hand

let me try to help you understand

this burning desire i have

inside

this burning need i have

i can't hide

its not simple

its not so dark

feel that ripple

hear the lark

dip down on the waters edge

let the memories come

i'm lost

im undone
