Eyedea - Pillow Case lyrics

Now he sleeps with pillow in between his legs
Hoping that his dreams don't
Haunt him tonight
But they keep on coming back
Every day after day
He wonders if he'll have them for
The rest of his life
Now he quit smoking cigarettes
Three years ago
Just didn't like the thought of
Being dead by fifty-three
He don't miss the head rush
From the pack of Marlboros
He's just thankful that he was
Able to break free he loves to sit under the
Sun and write his songs
Breaking his addiction proved to
Him he wasn't weak
But he does still smoke in
Fact he did all along
The difference is now he only
Does it in his sleep
And he tries to wake himself
When he lights the match
But he has to inhale, he has no control
So he cries
Cause he thought he escaped the trap
But, it's a reoccurring nightmare and
He wants to know

What is a dream (Something to sleep on)
What is a dream (Something he needs gone)
What is a dream (Something that keeps on)
What is a dream
(Just a problem with his head)

What is a dream
(Something that speaks strong)
What is a dream (Something that we want)
What is a dream (Something he'll sleep on)
What is a dream
(He doesn't want to go to bed)

Now he met this young girl
Around the same time
He dropped his smoking habit and
Began it in the dreams
He let her in his life
Because he needed to shine
And she was the most beautiful
Woman he had ever seen
And he grew three years long, two hearts wide
And immeasurably deep
They were perfect together
And he knew somehow, he felt on the inside
That no matter what the weather it'd
Be him and her forever
Their hands interlocked 'till the
End of routine
He would never break her heart because
The love is so real
And he can't seem to stop having these dreams
Where he solemnly commit's adultery
Against his will
And he tries to wake himself
Because he loves his girl
But he has to take it all, he has no control
So he cries 'till he's out
Of his subconscious world
It's a reoccurring nightmare and
He wants to know

What is a dream (Something to sleep on)
What is a dream (Something he needs gone)
What is a dream (Something that keeps on)
What is a dream
(Just a problem with his head)

What is a dream
(Something that speaks strong)
What is a dream (Something that we want)
What is a dream (Something he'll sleep on)
What is a dream
(He doesn't want to go to bed)

Now he bought a couple books
To help him understand
What was going on on the inside of his brain
He thought if it persisted he
May lose his stance
And was told that was step
One to going insane
Every night it's the same
Either one of the two
Lighting up a cigarette or
Cheating on his woman
And he fights constantly in his
Head what to do
Cause what he does in his dreams
In real life he wouldn't no control
Makes him skeptic of everything else
He don't trust himself cause
Dreams can come true
His soul is agitated from it's image it'self
And he wants to be happy but
Don't know what he's gotta do
So he walked one day
Through the woods for miles
With the waterfall below he stood at
The edge of a cliff
When he talked, he heard an echo
So he exhaled his Marlboro
Grabbed his dick and screamed
Dreams are bullshit dreams are bullshit
Dreams are bullshit dreams are bullshit
Dreams are bullshit

What is a dream dreams are bullshit
