My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
Dried up like a raisin in the sun
A festering wound starting to run
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the reality
Of human suffering
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
They stink like rotting meat
Rot and sugar over bittersweet
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the hypocracies
Of human niceties
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
They're a sagging heavy load
That I fear may explode
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the insanity
Of human society
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine

My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
Dried up like a raisin in the sun
A festering wound starting to run
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the reality
Of human suffering
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
They stink like rotting meat
Rot and sugar over bittersweet
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the hypocracies
Of human niceties
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
They're a sagging heavy load
That I fear may explode
My dreams have been deffered
By the nightmares I preffered
Over the insanity
Of human society
My dreams have been deferred one too many times
I'm beginning to wonder if those dreams were mine
Largely inspired by Langston Hughes "A Dream Deffered"
