when I'm lucid

you are an image
when i'm lucid
you and i
you don't know
plays in my head
weighs like lead
if i could win
we would be home

not one for lies
just this tonight
you look afraid
but you're doing it right
talk to kill
kiss to fill
this is the government
and the sleeping pills

i'd lay it out
obey the sounds
watch your mouth
when they're around

you are a god
i'm never wrong
if we had souls, you said
they might be one
go put to sleep
your loyalties
and sing to me
one of the thirty six i keep

i'd lay it out
obey the sounds
watch your mouth
when they're around

if only thoughts count
then count me in
cuz your pretty words
got my pretty little head thinkin'
its not fair
but you're fair game
meet me in the church
we'll go down in flames
smoke until the mirrors
define uninvention
so high our love
beyond all comprehension
when paranoia
refuses to walk tall
one will run
one will fall
we're all
we're all funny little animals
