Keep Dreaming
lyrics/music by Edie Marshall


Work, sleep, sit alone in a dark room for weeks,
judge yourself by the company you keep.
Work, sleep, he's a prayer you're too tired to speak,
but you sit in a dark room for weeks, hands together.
(do you really want an answer?
do you really want...)
Work, sleep, walk with your eyes on your feet
to your dark room where you meet the man of your dreams.
"Keep dreaming," he says.
"Keep dreaming," he says.
"I am not just a dream, I am you.
Work, sleep, you are a dark room
I've been sitting in for weeks.
I'd pray for you but I'm too tired too tired too tired..."
Work, sleep, judge yourself by the company you keep,
sit alone in a dark room for weeks.
