I had a dream once, and you were in it

And I was happy, just for a minute

I felt a cold hand grab the back of my neck

He said, what's your hurry, son? Are you sure you're really ready yet

So I stood there frozen, like an ice sculpture

Until I was found by a hungry flock of vultures

They tore apart every inch of my flesh

They tore me to pieces, leaving you to clean up the mess

I can't explain this shame I feel, rusting away these nerves of steel

Pushing a metric ton of guilt, just to watch it run back down the hill

We went to a concert, of some band you like

You bought a t-shirt, and we sung and danced all night

I sat there patiently, watching you enjoy yourself

I couldn't help but wonder if you'd rather be with someone else

So then I drove you home, and I walked you to your doorway

You tried to kiss me, but I just walked away

I can't explain why I do this to myself

I think I need therapy, I think I need some fucking help

I can't explain this shame I feel, rusting away these nerves of steel

Pushing a metric ton of guilt, just to watch it roll back down the hill

I can't explain this shame I feel, rusting away these nerves of steel

Pushing a metric ton of guilt, just to watch it roll back down the hill

Just to watch it roll back down the hill

Just to watch it roll back down the hill

Just to watch it roll back down

I had a dream once, and you were in it

And I was happy, just for a minute
