His Dream

from demos from mystic falls by Monaural

about

Dot Wiggin is a tragic songwriter.

Interpolates "Neon Shuffle" by XTC and "Get a Job" by the Silhouettes, though more in my "backing vocals." Anybody know how to sing AND actually have good recording equipment?

lyrics

Lost kitty cat
spent all day tryin' to find him
he's plenty bad
luckily he was found when we pulled up
I wish the reprieve was longer
so I didn't have to see my father
and his loving palm of his hand
as we all band together

Strum the song as he likes it
he won't care about the notes we missed
as long as his dream is on track
there's no way he'll put us in the sack

high school boys
how I miss those days in the hall
have to play with his toys
keep in shape to play the ball
I miss my companion radio
family couldn't afford stereo
we're his personal brand
or he'll love us with the palm of his hand

Strum the song as he likes it
he won't care about the notes we missed
as long as his dream is on track
there's no way he'll put us in the sack
There's no way that he'll be bad
There's no way he'll stab us in the back

She's going crazy, she's outta her mind
my sister screams, my sister cries
she cuts herself, she can't keep time
dad always hates her almost every time
she says she's stuck in the void
forever playing with his toys
she says she hates it when he touches
I'm not sure, if at all, he does.

I feel trapped,
everything we've done's in the can
we're sad
forever doomed to the band
as I sit in retirement
the support is heaven-sent
our pain is the litmus
of any off-kilter rhythm

Strum the song as he likes it
he won't care about the notes we missed
as long as his dream is on track
there's no way he'll put us in the sack
There's no way that he'll be bad
There's no way he'll stab us in the back
