The Worst Best Dream I Ever Had

I don't sleep, 'cause when I do,
all I dream are dreams of you. 
When I wake up, you are not around. 
In my best dreams I am dying. 
In my worst, you say you're trying-
and in yours you say your teeth are falling out.

Pick your teeth up from the floor,
'cause I don't walk that path no more,
or hold the handle of a sword for causes lost.
Tumble down the mountaintop
and break your back among the jagged rocks,
and when regret starts to knock you leave the door locked.

If it's the distance you couldn't take,
then let's not repeat the same mistakes
and for our sakes remember when to call enough enough.
If it's my drinking you can't abide
I'll have you know that I have tried and tried
and tried and tried and now I'm giving up.

Because silently I'd bear your burdens
just as much as you'd be bearing mine,
and I admit that though you tried
it wasn't ever quite enough.
"Toughen up". Silently I'll burn my burdens.
You're the worst best dream I ever, ever had.
You're the worst best dream I ever, ever had.
