I tend to dream about a place
I think
The settings an important part
They say we dream about ourselves
And other people are our parts
Like waking life
How we see ourselves
In everyone else

Saw you sleeping under the bridge
In our hometown
Where I felt out of place
That night
So I went for a ride
Funny to meet again here
In this discarded place
Our frequent haunt
Where we would talk
and smoke pot
And the water was so close
A calm, steady noise
And you seemed happy then
What fucked you up?
Was it present then
A dark voice in your head
And you disappeared
Now you don't sing anymore
You're not Kurt Cobain
You never were
And that's okay
You really were a friend to me
And I hope wherever you are
You feel free
And you are safe

Hey, you may not know this
But I always looked up to you
You were so cold before it was cool
Black lipstick, "Stay away from me"
Thirteen, suburban goth death queen
You showed me buffy, and black nails from Sharpie
Guess I wanted to say some things
Do you remember when we were enemies?
Fighting over big creek with Devon, Mason, Jordan, Billy, and Joey
We called him "Weasel", that fucking traitor
His dad once took me fishing
But we don't talk to anyone around here anymore
And hey, the last I heard, you were out in the country
Doing some work with horses
And you should know that made me so, so happy

I know you're feeling it so bad, running with the pack again
I know you're not a bleeding heart
Heed a darker call
I know you've been alone for weeks
Those marks on your knees
Part of a whole
I know you wanna drink that blood
But holy water running down your face
Starts a storm in you
And so you bite down on the bone, sucking all the meat from it
Stomach to the dirt
The moon above your head never sets
Do you feel so separate?
A perversion in our heads, so far from God
If we were stoic like the trees
Or steady as a stream
Too bad we're not
And we will never know how to live like a worm
And if it's better down there,
Closer to the earth

On your right side
A couch left alone
Too close to home
Those nights burning in heat
Totally alone
Twenty five
Blank T-Shirts
On your bedside
Given up on your life
A strange commercial
Interrupted train of thought
Don't ever tell anyone
What you really want
Dishonest way of life
But you don't trouble anyone
Who needs that hassle man?
You suffer privately
Does that make you strong then?
I don't really think so
You're scared of your own weight
And I understand that
No one should carry it
So you're up with it all night long

You've been coming here a lot
Unloved and unseen by many
Still you open up your heart
But they're all shit
I know you told me
"Men are all the same, they want one thing"
We were at a bar before, and I see so clearly
We're different
Your want to change the world, you want people to be good
or at least better than they are
And I hardly leave my room
Get caught up with myself
You don't believe it, but you're better than me
You try to do the right thing
Though you fuck it up a lot, it's okay
You're headed the right way
And I hope that it works out for you
and everyone else
Hope you find the right one
And all that I'll say is not everyone deserves your love
There are those who have not earned your love
There are some who do not return love

That picture framed over your bed
Of a condor
Just glimpses of a life you spoke of
True freedom
Burnt candles all around your mirror
Deep red
Quotes from Robert Anton Wilson
You circled
We went walking
You said you were worried
Our mutual friend getting in so deep
She's communing with dead things,
Fervent cleromancy
I think she'll be alright, she's going through a hard time
We'll light her some candles, send her some good vibes
I really believed that
What a strange life
She lost a loved one, she wants to reach them
She don't fear satan
She just sits and listens
Her heart is open
I hope she hears them

The first time that I prayed in years
I really prayed for you
I really wanted you to live
You could say "remember when"
And your glow could fill the room
The pain your passing caused was real
And now the house is for sale
The one we helped you paint
They've gotta keep on living their lives
And that's okay
You're loved and missed every day
What a mark you made

What does it take to be so light?
To let your worries melt away like sweet shaved ice
You left in the park on a warm day
Drip through the cracks on the table
Oh it's so nice out today
And I'll see you from afar
And my mind is somewhere else
How can anyone be so light?
I don't think your dumb
And I want your strength
Time is always on your side
You hold it in a smile
