This is a more recent, La Dispute-esque jam. Whatcha think? It's about a dream I had that obviously stuck with me.



6am insomniac
I closed my eyes to the lulling roar of garbage trucks backing down the lot outside my window
As I lay, less asleep than aware in the confines of a brightening apartment
Looking for escape from the stubborn mind holding me hostage in consciousness
But I found it

She was light in dark, fear-frozen art
Like the nightmare scene of a lucid dream
One look, shot and hidden as she disappeared down a pitch-black hallway
And I followed her, blind

“There’s always a thousand steps ahead” she echoed
So I counted until she came into view
Back against a wall, below the portrait of a family I knew
With the smallest body falling out of frame as I approached
I saw myself

“Don’t ever let me go” she begged
Out of breath and panicked sweat
“I feel that I have been lost for so very long”
As I reached for her and swore, I felt a breath on my neck, I turned
And I woke up

But I haven’t let go
I still travel blind
A thousand steps at a time
I named her Ambition
