(Dream Sequence)

from First Self​-​Titled by Ian Murray

lyrics

I had a dream one sleepless night
I climbed aboard some ship to fight for someone else's sake.
And as the sun rose in the east
All thoughts of liberty and peace, I left them in my wake.

And before too long,
I surrendered to the throng,
And though I must have known inside that it was wrong,
I lost myself, and all the things that I hold dear,
And though I scoffed that it was all so insincere,

I wanted to climb
Up to the clouds,
Draw one deep breath
And shout it out loud,
Shout, "I'm alive!"
Shout, "I survived!"
"Fuck where I'm from!"
"Fuck what's to come!"
"Fuck who I am!"
'Cause I don't give a damn anymore.

I mocked and I ranted,
I took things for granted,
I always assumed I was wickedly free.
This tired old story,
This ichiban mori,
I never once dreamed it would take hold of me.
