Here I Dreamt... Lyrics by Jimmy Gibson

Happiness and Cleanliness Are Unrealistic Standards Of Beauty

2018

I dreamt I saw a swirling ship
Harmonies from the captain's lips
It was vivid, as my heartbeat dips
Don’t tell me if I'm dreaming
I dreamt I knew the chambermaid
With blues and golds before me laid
And there I stayed for forty days
And nights watching the ceiling
Don't tell me
Don’t tell me
Don't tell me
I'll wake up soon
I'll wake up soon
I dreamt I watched the world expand
The water rose and turned to sand
And she stretched out her seventh hand
And told me how I'm feeling
I dreamt I cared for empty things
They used to fill, they used to sing
The captain calls for fraying strings
The misused waves revealing
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
I’ll wake up soon
I’ll wake up soon
I dreamt the dogs sat watchful now
The bells turned off, but read aloud
It's braille, blind promise disavowed
The premise left them reeling
I dreamt the canes swept ancient fields 
And you jabbed softly at my heels
Apocalyptic signs will yield 
With fate’s long fingers dealing
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
I’ll wake up soon
I'll wake up soon
I dreamt confusion washed my dry
As fear's accomplice hung me high
And from the sea, a solemn sigh
Contained belugas stealing
I dreamt I fell asleep again
The night was shaken by her friend
In the start as in the end
I arose just barely dreaming
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
I'll wake up soon
I'll wake up soon
I'll wake up soon
