i dreamt i was alone again
i dreamt i had a chance but i blew it
i dreamt you were in love with her and not me
i dreamt i had a cure for all of these petty things
it's a cruel thing, how we treat one another
it's a cruel thing, how i solve this in my dreams
i'm collapsing all the way, into my weakened centre
then dissolving into dust and then i'm blowing in the wind, in the wind
i dreamt i was a politician
placating, overstating simple things
i'll adorn you with praise in brilliant conversation
and in the end i won't accomplish anything
it's a cruel thing, how we consume every resource
and it amazes me to see the lack of bounds for human greed
so we're collapsing all the way, into our weakened centre
then dissolving into dust and then we're blowing into space, into space
