I have nightmares where I'm running from something And I'll wake up just as it's about to grab onto my sleeve Or a knife is falling towards me, or all that I can I see Are gruesome gaping jaws lined tight with sharp and hungry teeth And I'll wake up in a coldsweat, oh I'll wake up with a scream In a room that's dark and calm and I will know it's just a dream But my heart's still beating faster and my feet are still twitching And it seems like all day long I am still running in my sleep Maybe that is part of why I always run away It's like I get scared for my life when I think "maybe I should stay" It's not that I can never tell reality from fiction It's just sometimes they feel the same I don't know how else to explain I'm still sleeping when I wake up from a vivid dream And sometimes the past and future feel like they're one in the same Lately, I've had better dreams, the kind of ones that seem To remind me of my life, like I'll be waiting on a train Or I'll ride one through the mountains, just you our friends and me And sometimes my brother's there and I always feel so free But I still wake with the feeling that I'm waiting or I'm riding And it gets a little sad if I feel stuck in carolina Or tennessee or florida, or in one of my poems Some days I feel stuck and other days I feel at home I feel like my life lately's been one long, drawn out transition Like my brain's on a crew change or interlude of mass proportions And it hasn't been so scary, no, it never gets so bad It just mostly gets confusing when you're used to moving fast You spin so many compasses, you spin so many bottles When you get to sitting still, you feel you're spinning something awful I feel like I am living my entire life at once And I hope that it's the case that I'm not the only one But I think time passes substantially differently for me Like I'm lost in its dilations or a sea of memories The waves crash in my head and I'll ride them with my friends TIl I snap back to reality and wonder where they went And when I love, I love just like I drink or like I smoke Way too much and way too many, and unapologetically Compulsively and loudly, and with everything I've got And sometimes I wanna quit, but I just can't seem to stop Whether it's a nightmare or the sweetest lucid dream I'm all in, take all my chips, f*ck it, I'll bet everything I'll come out ahead if I lose or if I win Let the dealer take it all, I'll come and try my luck again It's such a strange sensation to feel like you're somewhere else When your nose and ears and brain and eyes Are all telling you otherwise Guess my heart's got habits of ignoring all of them Yeah, I am where it is, I might be crazy but that's it I'm still back in san francisco, I'm still sleeping in your bed And everyone I've ever loved is still asleep inside my head I'm still out by the highway, collecting bleach-white bones And I've never felt more homeless in this home that's not my own
