Dangerously Day Dreaming

from Voices & Vices Volume III by Jonathan Atkins

/

lyrics

Give me something to drown the pain,
'Cause my crazy ex took my knife away.
And maybe she ain't so crazy,
If she was sane enough to see things that pained me,
Like loneliness and being forced alone.
From emptiness and shattered bones
portrayed violently in an empty home.
It's cliche and overheard, but it's only cliche and over heard because it's a fact that many of us experience and hold dear
because we don't have anything else to hold near.

And I'll slip up a thousand times,
Or slip down whatever you call it for the rhymes
Or I'll slip and on my way down
Find new things that seem to help me drown.

Like cigarettes and filling my chest,
With finest weed, and simply
Just finding balance between
The heavy pains and pressures and life and pleasures and dreams.

I day dream. I day dream. I always day dream.
And it spoils all the fun of my proper dreams.
It keeps me awake at night with all the night mares.
But it gives me hope and so I keep day dreaming dangerously.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
