Television Dream

Those curtains she made burned like a sunspot reflection rear view Out on the highway he told me to wait Just wait just wait Fight or flight pills to swallow on the speedway The flight made me tired and numb the fight got me fired and dumb Can I tap into a different evolutionary hemisphere? He told me to wait Just wait just wait just wait The curtains and door frames are gone and you won't recognize the refrigerator Are you sure you want to pick through what remains? Maybe I'll find an old family picture Hold on to the past while the future wipes off your stains Raised on nostalgia and greens to cut down your tree with a sheath She hand stitched those curtains with your fear Woven in the tapestry Here have an identity mirror Look through and you'll find you Maybe even a television dream Or a perfect fitting character suit Structures built for your envy and given to our fathers to teach Instead I created a candle that I dipped with my relief Unresolved reliance hoping not to be irrelevant Unspoken bonding coping with irreverence Their backs not what they used to be but stubbornness isn't a logical trait But stubbornness isn't a logical trait I watched wax drip through the floorboards He told me to wait just wait None of the homes have a 4th wall But I must be living beyond it because they're all looking at me All of this - This must be my fate He told me to wait Just wait
