censoring sea

You came to me in a dream

Like the ideas I choose to sing

And it coiled around me, such a thing

You said nothing, but

Just leave

I could tell it was fake, the disdain on your face

I knew what you wanted but

I won't win that race, and you didn't want me to

But I wanted you

There was a quiet exchange of thoughts

That can only happen in the brain

And I know it's projection

Yet I still feel affection when I awake to see

Something that reminds me

That you wouldn't say those things

And you wouldn't think those thoughts

I don't know why I sing about a

Thing I barely lost

Feel your teeth sink into that last bit of skin

Say nothing once more

Just let it happen

I wouldn't say these things

And I wouldn't think these thoughts

You don't know why I cling to a

Thing I never lost

I can see my breath

Taste the salt

The air

Seems like it'd be so much clearer

From up there

Now tell me

What did you dream

I can feel it slipping like sand

I can feel it slipping from my hands

The heat transfers to the wall

I can't remember it at all

My thoughts fog up the window

As my hopes echo in the hall

Now take a look around

And tell me if it falls

Dangerously low before the censoring sea

Make sure you listen for that honorable plea

Freedom of Greatness

Treason of Grace

Congratulate her for me when she wins that race

'Cause I was the first

But I'll be the last

To see what it's like

To have us in the past, oh
