ASSIGNMENT

It is the first time I can remember dreaming something inconsequential in a while
No stress, no exploring, no mission that I remember
And that was nice because as soon as I awoke the mission
Impossible music begins to bump in my mind
Suspense and tension and I am on (an assignment)
On an assignment and everything is pressing with stress
With thoughts of him, thoughts of him, thoughts of him
Yeah, thoughts of him, thoughts of him, of better men
Always men? Why men?
I don't even like them
On the whole, just as a concept

In some other dream numbers are dwindled
And that's okay because I can do a lot with a little
I can do a lot, I can do a lot, I can do a lot with a little, yeah
Stop letting him dick you around
You wouldn't even let him dick you down

There's no more desire, no more desire in me
There's no more desire in me (no more desire)
To be made a fool
No more (no more), no more, no more, no more
No more to be a fool for love

The dream, the boulder, rolled away from the tomb, my heart
And I'm breathing in the air again for the first time since (you know, the first time)
It is not embarrassing just because something is
It's not a moral failure
It's not ultimately the end of anything
'Cause nothing ever ends, really (nothing ever ends, really)

Not everything is a message to you (it's a message for me)
Stop decoding (it's not for you)
The feelings I'm seeing are not for you
In peace, I lost a lot

I get to keep one thing
