Untitled (Sweet Complicated Dreams)

The Juniper Berries

Compositor: Joshua Stirm

Nobody asks you for much
But it’s guaranteed
With a wink
You make out a check
In disappearing ink

Offending all
As often as you please
I know it’s all justified in
Your sweet complicated dreams

You’ve cancelled again
Just to feel like
You’re in demand
The most popular one-man-show
And the one man everybody wants to know
But I know you’re all alone in
Your sweet complicated dreams

Nobody wants to make this all up
But it’s your guarantee
With a wink
Then a blink pressing down into shallow sleep

Do you really think you should keep on wading deeper into
Your sweet complicated dreams?
