"a lucid dream" lyrics

"a lucid dream"

You look prettier in this light
I prefer you in the background of an empty sky
A body in the basement of a former life
An anecdote I share to give some insight

But now I can't escape the heat of July or its humidity
And I don't miss the taste of you cause it's escaped my memory
And I know you started off sweet
Before you got bitter
I could tell it as a lie
Or I could say what it is now

Maybe you're a lucid dream
I try to keep
Locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I try to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet
You Blend into the scenery
Til you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep
Trying to get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

You were better out of context
A momentary lapse that killed my common sense
Some Attention that I got to build my confidence
I'm sacrifice you made to your god complex

But now I can't escape the heat of July or it's humidity
And I don't miss the taste of you cause it's escaped my memory
And I know you started off sweet
Before you got bitter
I could tell it as a lie
Or I could say what it is now

Maybe you're a lucid dream
I try to keep
Locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I try to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet
You Blend into the scenery
Til you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep
Trying to get back to the

Heat of July and it's humidity
Taste of you but it's escaped my memory
When the sun burns in the sky it starts a smoldering
And I'm losing sleep trying to get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

Maybe you're a lucid dream
I try to keep
Locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I try to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet
You Blend into the scenery
Til you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep
Trying to get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start
