A positive mind can be hard to find Deep inside everything you can’t define Pushing through the cracks little bits of light That attract the dust, and scare the mice I’ll be away and you’ll be trying to find Me lost in the caroline Called to find Shine on Shine A frame of mind Shine on Shine A looking glass Shine on Shine A part that’s passed Shine on Shine I’ll be alone, and I’ll stop throwing stones Just to find a quiet place of mind I’ll be there, beneath the stairs Pushing off all the way to the caroline Called to find Shine on Shine A frame of mind Shine on Shine A looking glass Shine on Shine A part that’s passed Shine on Shine It takes a lot to make amends

Caravel 04:19
Opens up like an empty heart To let in the light from the outer parts Dust comes through a cracked window And it covers all the things that you used to know I’m just me and I know you are Skin touch skin and it’s pulled apart Shelf stands tall with it’s four small legs And it holds the books that you’ve already read Slowly take a look around Breeze blows soft and it calms you down I wade through to the caravel Ship sails with out a warning bell All my dreams just sit in one place Like an old folks home that’s run out of space Release a note from a cold tight string While the clock strikes twelve and the bells do ring I planned to be a better man But I can’t find the warmth of the calm white land Slowly take a look around Breeze blows soft and it calms you down I wade through to the caravel Ship sails with out a warning bell

And I know its hard Just to stick around And wait it out for the good parts And even though The sun tries to shine while the moon tries to glow Know your heart, Keeps the kings and queens apart It’s all the same Whether or not you take the blame And I know you’re happy, When you’re smiling at me Dancing round the room with a broom in your hand And it’s an endless river, When we’re kids together Now the stream dried up and gone to shit like the others anyway Know your heart, Keeps the kings and queens apart It’s all the same Whether or not you take the blame And it comes belated Oh you call the queen, I’ll be out there for anyone or anything
4.
All you know All that matters It’s alright You’ve never felt better Light the way A short shot commuter All alone But you don’t feel like a rebel Open eyes, Asleep so you trick the cameras I hope you get the prize That you think you’ve won I’m the one you call your own Standing sweet at the microphone I try to lie but I can’t My guts they twist me up like the vines on a plant Only, only one, Only, only one, Only, only one, I know you hold The key to the weather If it lasts It’s here for now and ever I know it’s nice, I know you have a weakness You’re the only one, The only, only one, I’m the one you call your own Standing sweet at the microphone I try to lie but I can’t My guts they twist me up like the vines on a plant Only, only one, Only, only one, Only, only one,

I watch while they play, cyclical games Passing around the real use of my name Feeling for a second that you catch to release Easy it comes and easy it leaves I’ll be you’re meter if you be my maid Put in your money and get for what you paid I’ll ask you a question like what is your name I shouldn’t have to but I’d like to explain Over flow the thoughts that are inside my head And you know that I’ve know that we’ve always know the grass is greener on the other side but that wall which you’re trying to climb is far too high I can’t control the ways of my brain If you ask me a question like “what is your pain?” Put me to rest and catch your own breath I can’t control what has already left I’ll be your animal if you’ll be my cage Lock me up tight and quell all my rage Push off the dock, out to the sea Take on the loss without the leaves Over flow the thoughts that are inside my head And you know that I’ve known that we’ve always known the grass is greener on the other side but that wall which you’re trying to climb is far too high

It’s a short little step You can’t forget From the start to the finish Hold your place On the run the jury’s late You might get away It’s a strange and awful taste To each his own it makes The only one that has to wait Is the one who goes in haste Grab the keys you're out the door It’s just like before Everyone knows you bend a page To hold its place Come along and let me take You on this journey away We’ll find the dead in everyone’s wake You know I hold a place In your heart and in your waste My hands will grip to taste I feel your bones in every step I know you won’t forget My breath is there along with voice I’ll give you half a choice Hold it long and hands away I’ll give you what you make Hold it down in the night when you got no place to go or fight And it’s alright Yeah it’s alright

Waste Time 03:47
I don’t want to waste your time little sister I don’t want to waste your time It’s another thing if a cold hearts wasted Your purity unrefined Keep your innocence like a lost locked castle Secret and hard to find Wait, it’s already over Can’t, say my love goodbye I don’t want to kill your mind that you’ve made up I don’t want to kill your mind It’s another thing if an old ones wasted You’re smart so refined I keep on eating the lines that you feed me I don’t want to waste your time All I ever wanted was a time with you All I ever wanted was the time It’s a windows view from the strangest places To leave and let them stay behind A world that grows fast stays complicated Lately I can’t seem to unwind It’s another form of the way we measure It’s another form of time All I ever wanted was a time with you All I ever wanted was the time

Been round cause you know it’s the sound It’s like a menial man and I’m shocked Everybody knows what you found is a mean old man in a crown Though the King and the Queen will dance while the peasants eat the bread from their big ol’ hands You know, there’s not a chance of getting old lets do it again. Buy and they sell some more You crash through the backdoor you know You get what you’re paid for When it’s worth much more Everyone knows that there’s an awe filled coast Everyone you know can’t get close Sick of everyone who knows why we came So we walked out into the pouring rain And the king and the queen do their little dance While all us peasants just sit in, in the hands Of a man who takes a plan Turn’s it upside down and fucks it up again And we know a ruse so I’m going in Get inspired and do it again ah. Watching out til you explode You’ve got the highs and the low I know you know why Everyone knows why You open my heart and open again You open my heart and wait again You open my heart and wait again I’ll wait and wait again I’ll wait and wait again I’ll wait and wait again I’ll wait

Made me feel Like a meaningless man So I gave it to junk for jesus I don’t have any room for it to sit like a plant Camera pans With an out of focused lens To see the view unseen Like the precision of a wise old man I’m hunting for An ordinary mind Lonely on the outside I tell you ‘I know, gonna do just fine.’ Bottle it up, Let the current take you along Out here on the outside Go wherever, wherever you like Standing all alone She’s standing all alone Arms are crossed like the queen she’s thrown Doesn’t know what he did He doesn’t know what he did Holds her close like a sweet little kid He doesn’t know how to act doesn’t know where to roam Holds her close so sweet so known Doesn’t know where to run he doesn’t know where to hide Keeps his thoughts and his fears inside Alone.

Long John 04:52
Long John, hang on The dresser by my bed It’s almost winter I can feel it in my head Time to clean the mess I made Time to see those sad holidays I know it’s fine Just wasting time It’s all a line We’re stuck behind Try not to feel Too bad about The winter comes And rushes out Long John, hang on My tired boney legs It’s almost winter I can feel it in them I know it’s fine Just wasting time It’s all a line We’re stuck behind Try not to feel Too bad about The winter comes And rushes out

Who You Are 05:30
I know where you are Some, somewhere so far To reach, gonna need a time machine Hard, harder than it may seem Wait, You paved the road to get me here So far, through all my little fits and fears I know, we used to smile so much more I see, it gets a little worse each day for me I know all your secrets The one, the one that you keep deep in Your stomach, your stomachs like a pit With all the weight how can you lift it? Wait, you paved the road to get me here, So far, through all my little fits and fears You know, whenever something tries to shine It tends to glow, tiny little specks of light that grow. You go to the wise and you tell them your lies and they’ll turn you around and open your eyes to the reasons I know you get down when the weather shifts and the sun don't shine as much as it did and you’re freezing You pick pocket cash from the people who pass but it doesn’t change the matter of the fact or the way that you’re feeling Oh the change is so slow But then it’s there and gone Before you even know

about

Dream Sick was formed in November of 2010 at the end of fall, into the beginning of winter, and a lot of the material for the album was written during this period. Jess Matsen (Vocals, Guitar) was working graveyard shifts at the haunted Hotel Congress as a deskman, and hardly saw the sun. Listening to Dream Sick you can hear these dark undertones in almost every song, there is longing for sunlight, for better days.
