The Dragonfly

from Hyper Mystic Destiny by Wealthy Relative

lyrics

caught up in the lingering cloud of a dream
my unattended projections of all reality are left to fester alone
while i remain stuck inside the duality of luck's appeal and actuality
liquid pass through cartilage and bone
this riverbank flows beyond the limit of the known
break free, break free from the fear of being alone
alienated by this self created sense of sympathy or pity rather
hesitating to make a connection so far from home
left to gather up the sticks and stones
and grow a shelter in this sweltering heat
my feet are sore from standing here and banging on this door
so i pour all of my troubles into a poem, lightyears from home

Hook:
gotta have the low to appreciate the high
gotta close your eyes at times to realize they can open
hoping that i can save someone
love and hate relationship with the son of man
show me that i have a plan
please

am i a grown up or has my casket already been sewn shut
crushing the moans of the dead with every cannon blasted
ashes to ashes, all i can ask is that when my head collapses
could you collect the interstellar dust
and put it in a basket
wrap it with a plastic crucifix and send it down the river
shivers ripping down my skeleton
past the point of ever being well again
heaven battles hell
and now im falling down the well again
but the bucket at the bottom brings me back up to the top
crops surge with energy
now purged of any enemies i am finally free
to conceive my real feelings
in a lucid state of mind foolish eyes get wise
choosing to despise lies and embrace nightmares
cause terror is a fantasy, american tragedy
love your family and everybody else on the planet
never take your life for granted, one heart
