Dreams Deferred Lyrics

Why waste my time

On dead ends

And trap doors

Leading me through

A maze with no finish?

Why would you say

That my thoughts are valid

Then hold it against me

When you feel diminished?

So sorry if I seem a little reckless

I do my very best just to get this

Flustering feeling that the world is slowly ending

Out of my head

Sorry if I lost a little faith but

The gravity is far too much to take

So I'll burn some bridges

And when the window closes

I'll make a door of opportunity

So you'll sink lower and lower

To avoid confrontation

And I'll get higher and higher

Diluted contemplation

Are you scared it might be different?

Or unfamiliar?

You fear pain of the future

Lose sight of the present

So sorry if I seem a little reckless

I do my very best just to get this

Flustering feeling that the world is slowly ending

Out of my head

Sorry if I lost a little faith but

The gravity is far too much to take

So I'll burn some bridges

And when the window closes

I'll make a door of opportunity

You say I'm a dreamer

But sleep is just practice for death

And you made my bed
