Bad Dreams

This song made me cry.  No joke.








I was watching her sleep
I was watching her breathe
I was watching her dream
I hoped she was dreaming of me...

The room was stale and sodden
It's 85 in Autumn
I thought it was hot in here
But it's hot outside
And I thought about my problems
Everybody wants to solve them
But problems are problems
And these problems are mine

Then I think about time...
I have time, right? Right? Right?

Ben crossed the street just a little too late
So he's gone and I accept that it's fate
It's just fate, what's so great about fate?
Don't get me started on fate.

I saw Ben
In a dream last night
I asked about heaven and he said "Heaven's alright."
Of course it is man
You're still sharp as a knife!
I asked about heaven
And he said "Heaven's just fine."
That's the tyranny,
That's the identity
Of time as a body fifteen feet in the air
All that concrete
Versus timing
What about destiny and Hollywood endings?

I'm not smashing any mirrors
I'm not walking under ladders
I'm not opening umbrellas
I'm not sparking with white lighters
It's just every time we try to meet
Liz was far away from me
In essence or by space
It took Ben
It took death
It took time

Yeah it took time.

I exhale my smoke towards the rotating fan
Liz wakes from her dream then she squeezes my hand
She says "Good morning."

Good morning!
You look so precious just dreaming of me!
She blinked and laughed me off...
She says "Boy if you knew I wasn't dreaming of you... You are dreaming of me. Still right now you imagine me say these words right back at yourself."
Then I woke myself shaking from deja vu.

I saw Ben
I saw Her
I've got Luck
I've got Fate
I've got Time...

Bad dreams... It was like a bad dream woah.

I know I really didn't think much of the Bad View demo, but this is really, really good. Wow. I'm well impressed.

and to think... we lose faith in everyone everyday. "faith". that's a strange word.

ps. we are the selfish dicks who made alphabets based on our own indulgences. this record will most likely piss most of you off. but hey, everyone's a critic.

Don't get me wrong I dug Alphabets hard. It's just Bad View kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. It rubbed me the wrong way and I really wasn't into it. I missed Cowboy Red so I was skeptical of the new stuff you guys were putting out. I didn't write the band off with two demo songs. I had a moment of opinionated weakness.

Im gonna have to say this is the best demo so far
:D
this album is like a girl with big titties
because ... when the band releases good stuff it makes everyone happy
like a girl with big titties
Or a cat with a jar of grape flavored jam hidden in his messenger bag
now who doesn't like a cat that offers jam to strangers
I know I sure do, but thats the past!

Do you even think your posts out or do you just slam your keyboard with your feet? I don't think one post you've made so far has made even a shred of sense.

       Sure they do!
I just engulfed this one with metaphors that are not easily understood
that's all.
and this is the only one, what other posts didn't make sense?
