Keep Dreaming

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
