Decoy of dreams (1998)

This song's about me chastizing myself for being over sensitive.

Decoy of Dreams

The sun used to rise
The sun used to set
He would have lived, he would have dreamt
But for the decoy being so wet

He used to win
He used to lose
He used to struggle
He used to cruise
Got up for tea
Drowsed with wine
Was nimble, had a minx
His life was just fine...

Then the shadow of sinister
Cast a decoy of dreams
In this river full of juice
He just swooned in his stream

The glass was half empty
There was so much to be won
Where are the stars in his background?
Where is the rainbow in his lawn?
There was so much still above him
The clouds, the star, the sky
Demi-jour in his orb
Life's maimed and worth a pie

He ran, He snatched
He scratched, He tried
He raked ran amok
He lost and he cried

Despair, munch and anguish
His dreams became his pain
His pain became his decoy
And decayed him to remains

He feels he has lost
He has folded, he is mute
He blames it on life
With his dreams his dispute
It's a pity he has lost
He has lost and he will learn

That the sun still rises
And the sun still sets
He should have lived , he should have dreamt
But he cried his decoy wet
He feels he has lost
Because he thinks he has lost
He blames it on his dreams
And I blame it on him

Cuz dreams are meant to be dreamt
Aren't life, just a whim
Not stopping him from dreaming
Cuz I want to see him soar
Not stopping his tears either
He should learn to suffer more
And all I want him to say
I live to dream, I dream I lose
I'll lose I'll dream, I'll dream I'll win.
