about

This was written to have a dual meaning. One, and perhaps more positively, as a sort of love song where someone invades your thoughts, blah blah blah.
Second, under the idea that capitalism can haunt us even in our sleep, seeking our desires, also letting us sleep in hidden dictatorship.

lyrics

Peel open my eyes and deny me sleep-
Force me to dance into the street;
Under the marquees- under invisible stars.
Somnambulist drifts for images of your ghosts;
My dreams have supplied you a hospitable host.
Forever awake in slumber- no refuge in sleep.

Caress my hair, remove my doubt,
Wipe the sweat off from my brow,
Below the towering walls of an edifice,
Show me all the things that I might miss.
I search for a passion that I have lost,
Sleepwalking to items that have a cost-
You place your sales into my mouth,
o that I never awaken in my house.

You own my dreams.
