No dreamcatcher, whole thing double bagged in a Hefty
Sagging like a dead star, heavy and empty
Hopes piled high I guess they were just for collecting
Disappeared as fast as a child or a blessing
Awake, the dream melts like wheatpaste in rain
The faces were deepfakes, I never saw inside the briefcase
I kept winning the sweepstakes in vain
Success hurries, defeat lays in wait
It felt as real as I needed, so who am I to eat cake and complain
A bigger dream, soaring over sweet waves of grain
Our guts rising during nosedive, and the passengers retake the plane and then
I woke up, I woke up again
I don't trust, I don't trust the end
Digging for missing initials
In the broke up cement
When I sleep, he's alive
Shaking his backpack out for something forgotten, we gotta to tell him he died
Murmurs and turned heads and weeping in private
Trying to keep the surprise
Four hands fumble over a whole snapper
Before we eat, we have find a way to close up the eyes
Messages whistle out of the fish jaw
"Is that you is that you" we ask holding it wide
But the last thing he said I missed, the train doors close like lips
The clouds don't drizzle they spit, can't believe it broke like this
And the dead men all walk stiff, one seat where they wont sit down
His long cold arm stretched out is cotton candy when I close my fist
I woke up, I woke up again
I don't trust, I don't trust the end
Digging for missing initials
In the broke up cement
I'm three states away
The outline of who I could've been is burned into that sidewalk
Right where I retraced our names
Where we let the gunk dry on our thumbs
It stings as each piece peels and breaks
No dreamcatcher, double bagged in a hefty
When I need the other side I travel domestic
They're living it up down there, they told me we're depressing
When they get back, it's exactly how they left it
