Lucidity (F​.​W​.​K​.​)

from Dreamsongs by Sam Brightbart

lyrics

And so I am quite scared
because nothing feels quite real.
Three letters on my arm,
but nothing is revealed.
I look around myself,
searching for a clue,
but every time you speak
I find I’m lost in you.

So why can’t I tell that it’s a dream?

I’m sure your face is true,
and that your name is still
exactly what it was
back when I climbed that hill.
But when I reached the top,
I knew I was not there –
instead I was in space,
clutching at the air.

So why can’t I tell that it’s a...

Dream something,
learn nothing,
feel everything.

The fire round your dress
is freezing all my skin,
and as you play your cards,
I can taste the sin.
Selecting words from bags,
I piece together hate,
but then you take my love,
you know not how to wait.

So why can’t I tell that it’s a...

Dream something,
learn nothing,
feel everything.
Dream something,
learn nothing,
feel everything.
