I Used to Dream

You pick me up in the morning light

With a heavy head and sallow eyes

A ball of flesh and heavy bone

Known better days are kinda soreI used to dream of leaving here

Now I just sleep away the fear

But nothing much ever came from me

A sack of empty promisesAnd if all these selfish thoughts would please just stopSometimes do you wish you could watch it burn?

Your life you've built and the things you own

How I dreamt of her again last night

And how I could put the past to rightAnd if all these selfish thoughts would all just stop

And leave a little room for someone else

When all that it would help will fall behindI used to dream of leaving here

But the roots that bind were mine to grow
