See You in Dreams - Sam Phillips

By the slant of the flower

By the words on paper

By the tokens and charms

Photomicrographs of happiness

I hide behind my eyes

Went to the places you lived

Went to the places you died

Tracing the fuse

Long story of a short life

With windows broken through

When I see you in dreams

When I see you in dreams

The end is broken open through

By the secrets stolen

By the force of longing

By adhesive regret

You fix your dreams to look like anyone’s

But no one’s noticed yet

Can’t tell the difference when you’re in the middle

Half a life through

The fuse gets shorter as the picture takes

A little more of you

When I see you in dreams

When I see you in dreams

The end is broken open through

When I see you in dreams

When I see you in dreams

The end is broken open through

When I see you in dreams

When I see you in dreams

The end is broken open through

When I see you in dreams

When I see you in dreams

The end is broken open through
