GASOLINE DREAMS
It's way past bedtime and I'm out here in the cold.
Moonlit memories of a life that's gone old.
The things I can't remember are haunting me downhill.
The things I can't forget are worse, even still.
The past casts it's hazy shadow fast.
Has trespassed the vast depth at last.
I know what happened at that time.
Strange images of incestuous crime.
The garden smells like it did before.
Smell of roses I used to adore.
Later on I was damaged and sore.
Made a vow to avenge for sure.
Gasoline dreams are about to come true.
Set the past on fire like you always do.
Matches are lit, inferno grows wild.
Vindictive smile, that hurt, sorrow child.
You're dreaming a dream, burning in bed.
I held my promise, now you burn instead.
As I leave the grounds of burning past,
I've buried that hurting child, at last.
