I have these dreams sometimes
That I know can’t be true
I have these dreams sometimes
But oh, they feel so real
I have these dreams sometimes
Things so close but just out of reach
I have these dreams sometimes
Mockeries of the real thing
Imposter! You’re in my head
Intruder! How’d you get in?
You’re only the darker side of me
Tryna put away my life and hide away the key
Hide away the key
I have these dreams sometimes
Free-fallin, but I can’t fly
I have these dreams sometimes
Need someone to pluck me outta the sky
I have these dreams sometimes
Floating under tons of water
I have these dreams sometimes
But I can’t break through to the other side
Imposter! You’re in my head
Intruder! How’d you get in?
You’re only the darker side of me
Tryna put away my life and hide away the key
And all of you people keep looking at me!
Like, this is my soul, man, don’t you understand?
What are you staring at, and can you please stop?
Cause I’m feeling pretty pried opened and examined
On a metaphorical operating table,
Your attention akin to the bright white lights
Imposter! You’re in my head
Intruder! How’d you get in?
You’re only the darker side of me
Tryna put away my life and hide away the key
Imposter!
Intruder!
You’re only the darker side of me
Tryna put away my life and hide away the key
Hide away the key
I have these dreams sometimes
I have these dreams sometimes

One Stubborn Nail

“You’ve gotta try to fit the mold, love,”
As he bent my arms and legs into contortionist shapes,
“I know it may not feel right yet,
But I promise you that you will be safe.”
I said, “I know you only meant the best things
But man, is it so hard to get it right
On the first try, On the first try,”
I said, “I know, I know, I know you had the best intentions
But I think maybe that you underestimated me
In so many more ways than one.”
“You’ve gotta try to fit the mold, love,
Squish yourself into your little box
People will like you better that way!”
Predictable and safe and slowly dying inside
“You’ve gotta try to fit the mold, love,
The nails that protrude are the ones that get pounded down,
And life can sure be a mallet sometimes,
And if you try real hard, you can make that box look pretty..”
I said, “I know you only meant the best things,
But man, is it so hard to get it right
On the first try, on the first try,”
I said, “I know, I know, I know you had the best intention
But I think maybe that you underestimated me
In so many more ways than one!”
“Oh, my flesh,
Oh, my blood,
How can I let you throw your life to the breeze?
Oh, my heart,
Oh, my soul,
I can’t sit back and let you fly freely,
“Oh, my flesh,
Oh, my blood,
How can I let you throw your life to the breeze?
Oh, my heart,
Oh, my soul,
I can’t sit back and let you fly freely…”
But what I want you to know more than anything else
Is that I’m valid in my flaws
And in my strengths and in my weakness
I said, “I’m valid in my experience
And I know what my soul craves,
So here I go, no, here I come!”
My dream has only just begun
My dream has only just begun
My dream has only just begun
Well, I guess you’ve got one stubborn nail on your hands

Finalities

You know I’m not that great at letting go, right?
You want me to put up walls just like you have?
Well, I don’t fuck with walls, baby, I will build a castle
And there ain’t no way I’m doubling back
You want isolation from me?
Well you’ve got it for all eternity
Cause I don’t know about you, but I’ll tell ya, I know me
And I mean, I tend to deal in finalities
Ooo, I’m in the business of final decisions
Ooo, don’t look back, you can’t go that way!
Ooo, I don’t do many reconsiderations,
So you’d better be damn sure,
Cause I mean what I say
You know, I never thought I’d be strong enough
Now broken and repaired I stand proud and tall
I call upon the Goddess and upon my inner strength
One last shout and then that structure will fall
So you thought you could just overlook me?
Ignore the work, blood, sweat, tears that I put in
Well, I’m no doormat, baby, I’m your goddamn adversary
You locked horns with the wrong warrior chick!
Ooo, I’m in the business of final decisions
Ooo, don’t look back, you can’t go that way,
Ooo, I don’t do many reconsiderations
So you’d better be damn sure
Cause I mean what I say
By the power of three, I make my move,
Maiden and Mother and Crone
Spinning and dancing til we’re one and the same
My power magnified, racing through my veins
By the power of three, I make my move,
Maiden and Mother and Crone
Spinning and dancing til we’re one and the same
My power magnified, racing through my veins
By the power of three, I make my move,
Maiden and Mother and Crone
Spinning and dancing til we’re one and the same
My power magnified, racing through my veins
Through my veins
