[ ugly dreams ]

if there was some way to

get rid of all my dreams

and hopes and aspirations

i would do it.

i would wave goodbye

and smile and cry

and never see them rear

their [ugly] faces again.

i wouldn't have to work hard,

because i wouldn't feel any [guilt].

i would be able to be infinite,

because i would never [fail].

i would be able to meet expectations.

because they wouldn't be [rocket high].

i could be pretty, by my own standards

because maybe society wouldn't [want me].

so if someone told me

they would put my life

on a train and send it

far, far away,

i'd hug them, and kiss them

and run.

or if someone said they'd take

my dreams and hopes and aspirations

and crush them like a [bug],

i'd grin

and say "okay".

but if someone said

"i'll make your dreams come true"

i think i'd [cry]

because then i'd have to

force myself to keep t r y i n g

to be p r e t t y for the crowd

to m e e t my expectations in the sky

and to be unhappy.
