But I Can't Build Us A Dream Just Yet.
My heart pulsates
For you
A broken-hearted traveller
A disguised heroine
With battle scars.
I hope to see us in another light
We've been trapped in darkness
For too long
Damaged and impaired
Disgusted by the world.
My heart goes out to you
And my hand stretches
It's heavy
And limp.
I'm been drunk for days
I never honoured sobriety
Since I started a whole lifetime ago
My liver itches for it, my lips ache for it.
You're a dreamer
A constant dreamer
Building fables in your head
Dancing for luck
In streets of seediness and danger.
My love
Commit to me
Commit to life
I might be drunk
But I'm with you this time.
Rage and love
Hazards and power
I'm a grafter
But I can't build us a dream just yet.
