Now and again it seems worse than it is,
but mostly the view is accurate.
You see your breath in the air as you’ll climb up the stairs
to that coffin you call your apartment.

There’s a dream in my brain that just won’t go away.
It’s been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
And I’m standing on a bridge in the town where I lived

And then the bridge disappears and I’m standing on air
with nothing holding me.
And I hang like a star, fucking glow in the dark,

like the ones we’ve wished on.
But now I’m confused. Is this death really you?
And do these dreams have any meaning?
No. No, I think it’s more like a ghost that’s been following us both.
Something vague that we’re not seeing,
something more like a feeling.
