The Worst Best Dream I Ever Had

I don’t sleep, ‘cause when I do
All I dream are dreams of you
When I wake up, you are not around

In my best dreams I am dying
In my worst, you say you’re trying
And in yours you say your teeth are falling out

Pick your teeth up from the floor
‘Cause I don’t walk that path no more
Or hold the handle of a sword for causes lost

Tumble down the mountaintop
And break your back among the jagged rocks
And when regret starts to knock you leave the door locked

If it’s the distance you couldn’t take
Then let’s not repeat the same mistakes
And for our sakes remember when to call enough enough

If it’s my drinking you can’t abide
I’ll have you know that I have tried and tried and tried and tried
And now I’m giving up

Because silently I’d bear your burdens
Just as much as you’d be bearing mine
And I admit that though you tried it wasn’t ever quite enough

“Toughen up”
Silently I’ll burn these burdens
You’re the worst best dream I ever, ever had
You’re the worst best dream I ever, ever had
