3.Dead Sea Dreaming

dead sea dreaming

the sea that you found in a dream you had so long ago
where waves crash like static on a shore made of stone
a grey sky so heavy makes it hard just to move
and trees stand like soldiers with something to prove

they know you by name
and they recognize your face
they scare you to death
but you stay in this place
hands around your neck and you barely can breathe
but the weight in your heart's much too heavy to leave

dream and run

rain falls like nails in your head but you know
the song from the creature that's sleeping below
a paralyzing melody inviting the storm
with a blanket of ashes to keep your ghost warm
