When I dream I find myself in places I never go to awake Taking chances I never take For fear I will break Or stumble.
So instead I grumble That I never go anywhere And let myself scare myself Out of doing what I need To do in order to be true To the person I am When I am awake.
I fully flimflam and take The easy, the cowardβs road. I hop away like a toad Then whine to myself In my dreams.
It seems ineffective. But it seems inelective. Itβs like I have no choice But I still listen To my sleeping voice.
Someday I may stop And drop this bad habit, Choosing to have it my way; Me on the highway, walking Instead of lying in bed talking About how good it could be If I were the dreaming me.
