Who Needs to Dream? - Bob Mould

You plead with yourself, but he’s leading you on

It’s the same thing every time, every time

I am determined not to fall into that trap again

It’s the things I need for myself, and not a way to validate

Or partner up with some great statue

That never moves or goes on dates

And chasing the one who’s running away

While being chased by the one you don’t want

It’s the race to be whole, and it’s always unfair

It’ll break your heart for a while, break your heart for a while

The passion hoping wanting, is what drove you to be

What you are today, what you are today

The shape shifting, weightlifting

Hope the presentation will catch his eye

And it did, and then he saw the string

He grabbed it and leads you on your leash

You offered it up, so don’t blame anyone but yourself

And just the moment you think, just at the moment you think

You’re closing the deal, he walks to the other side of the world

And closes the door in your face

You never give me the things I need, and yet I stay here, I remain

Hoping you will see the things I need, but I’ve come to learn

You don’t even see me, I am invisible to

You don’t even see me, I am invisible

Who needs to dream?

I don’t want to dream about the future

I only hope that I can make it to tomorrow
