- 06 Expensive DreamsStarts with life experience, the pros and consFlows in songs convey all the rights and wrongsThe night is long especially when the fight is strongOur light is gone, trauma in its brightest formI was warned, but by then I was wornFacing scorn, fabric of reality tornSound the horn to drown any doubt that’s bornCount the score, escape from a time forlornScout the field for questions, then fill/feel the formThe field I’m on there’s no room to mournFrom night to morn, a knight to the oath I’m swornIt’s not the norm, I don’t serve kings or queensWith rings and things, focused my own regimeTo stay clean, cleanse my soul like salineLike sailing, just trying to take in sceneThis take obscene, but only if you look in-betweenThe rook is team player, or so it seemsThings deceive, let’s reprogram the machinesSlanderous schemes you think would only work pre-teensBut we’ve seen unfolding of sins in streamsTense extremes, focused like the prince of thievesSense my needs, indeed, then I commence to feedHence I’m freed to rinse off the blood I bleedCut me deep and leave me with a pensive themeThe ones we don’t follow be the most expensive dreams2 min
