Death Dream

You wouldn't leave my mind
I used to be so sad about it
Sucking my blood dry
Now baby I'm just mad about it
Tried to read your lines
Thought I could see it in your palm and know it
Wasting my own time
You had a funny way to love and show it
And I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong

Down in my low rich world
That I was singing to from heavy curtains
The problems in my curls
You had to chase em down and know for certain
Said "It's a bitch now, girl
You gotta watch me take and learn to work it
It ain't no lucky pink pearl
You gotta hustle, make it all look perfect"
Well go on, baby go on, I'm listening go on

High on a mountain in my mind
I would turn my head and I would find
You screaming into the wind
Trying to tell me again, "Just go
I'm not what you want in a man, no no"

You tried to hold my heels
But you said freedom, and I held you to it
Then we made a deal
That I would sell my soul and put you through it
Now I know how it feels
To dream I shot you dead and no one knew it
Burning all my wheels, far enough away to really do it
And now I'm gone, yeah I'm gone, I'm gone, long gone

High on a mountain in my mind
I would turn my head and I would find
You screaming into the wind
Trying to tell me again, "Just go
I'm not what you want in a man, no no"
