certain things I try so hard not to believe
but I must be sad if I’m even crying in my sleep
because I have these ****** up dreams
so many of which take place at sea
and in the book of dreams
feeling the waves of the ocean
represents your waves of emotion

I guess I just don’t want to see
because it’s so hard to know that it isn’t me
so I try so much not to believe
but it’s only myself that I deceive
and about this I would not speak

so I look away
and it’s not thought about during the day
but at night
these dreams bring me fright
of horrible sickness at sea
and this dreadful feeling fills me

on a ship not quite afloat
and this dreadful feeling that I got to go
as the wave movements get more and more
there’s a strong fear of sinking before the shore

and these are the dreams
that keep telling me
how I feel subconsciously
that I might be sinking out at sea
