Red Dragon Wishes
all the possibilities, things you can pick up and look beneath / just watch your step don't fall between the blanks in your memories / there's an anchor sinking in the sound of a sense of lack that follows you around / years went by but I know it don't matter what you think of me / I'm awake don't let me go back to sleep / like a fugitive who just quit running you found out there's no escape / some mistakes can't be undone / it'll never be like it was / and wishing for it only makes it worse / there's some demons waiting down south / some kind of confederate ghost that holds me close shows me the way to go until I'm sure I'm lost / I built a workshop to find myself where I can dig in the corners climbing spider webs / it's a polaroid cemetery of every look you've ever given me
I'm awake don't let me go back to sleep / like a fugitive who just quit running you found out there's no escape / some mistakes can't be undone / it'll never be like it was / and wishing for it only makes it worse / keep on writing to capture a feeling, it's an outline of a real connection / treat your desires as what they are - imposters and a lonely invitation
some mistakes can't be undone / it'll never be like it was / and wishing for it only makes it worse
