Elated Hatred

________________________________________________________________________

Oh, Great Intentions

I live in dreams
Because I can't sleep
I'm always thinking
Thinking of what we could do
Do together to change the world

Your heart is beautiful.
Let's create more beauty.
The world is starved for it
Like I used to be.

We'll take them away
Paint their homes
Create colours
They've never seen
They've never believed
Could be real

We'll take them away
Rebuild their roads
Create paths
They've never traveled
They've never encountered
Until now

Until now.

I live in dreams
Because I won't sleep
I'm always thinking
Thinking of what we could fashion
Fashion from the pieces of their hearts

Because with you
We've got enough thread
To sew it all back together
Into something better.

Then there ever was.
