Gala

We were wrapped
In the warmth
Of a day dream
Like a newborn
Sound asleep
Til someone pulled the sheets away
We were cool
In the shade
Of ambition
Of what could be made
By desire made us tired
And wishing never got us well
Well
And now I lie awake
Most nights
Wishing I could cut these tethers
If I could sleep
Well then I could dream
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
I’ll lie and wait
For the world to end
Never mind (Never mind)
My strange hesitation (Every time)
As you plot out the days
Still ahead
How I dread
Breaking your heart again
It’s not you
That I can’t
Quite imagine
For the first dance
It is me
I don’t see
Making it to dance with you
You
Cuz now I lie awake
Most nights
Wishing I could cut these tethers
If I could sleep
Well then I could dream
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
I’d lie and wait
For the world to end
If I could only be holy again
If I could only be whole again
If I could only begin again
