lyrics

Only A Dream

Go outside and face the plague
Or stay at home and waste away
Turning into Howard Hughes
There but for a fortune to lose

Cross the street to get away
From the air some stranger breathed
I never thought it would come to this
How I wish it were only a dream

Sunlight on the damage of the night before
Got it together enough to get out the door
What do you want, some kind of award?

All your friends are acting strange
In other words, not much has changed
Idiotic distractions call you away
And you obey

Roll on through the rubble of some faraway trouble
Somebody's Hell, smeared across the screen
From the soft cries of so many endings
To the murmur of failing machines

Running wild in a run-down graveyard
Midnight in the teenage wilderness
Drunken footsteps, tumbling headstones
Civil warriors get no rest
Get no rest, get no peace
Smell the earth through the wet black leaves
Is it over, the world, I mean?
How I wish it were only a dream

Scott Hrabko image

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
