Dream from CITIZENS by THE WHEEL WORKERS

she has a secret,
it burns inside her skin.
hurting so bad,
but she smiles and then she wins.

works it out
in her artistic reveries.
beautiful,
now she’s dancing to that goddamn radio.

the silent beast awakes
and demands his due.
measures out the fun
that she’s allowed to use.

but no, don’t say that you’re sorry.
no one, can keep her from falling.

days of these feelings,
her eyes have been saving.
the work that she puts out,
the time she’s allotted,
picks up a brush and she dreams.

what she sees when
she looks beyond her eyes.
when the night’s bad
it will never dim her shine.

so she’s going out to see the ocean waves.
cannot hide,
from the beast
but she’s living life tonight.

sometimes finds herself
rewinding back when...
wanting to remain,
going numb.
every time her heart breaks
she’s saved by the love received
and she picks up herself and she dreams
