Name: My Dreams Are Rude
Duration: P00H04M58S
Description: Still up late at nights writing songs and learning to engineer. And coping with a breakup. We didn't have a drummer for this song so used a synth patch. I got to explore EQing delay on this and it took a while as there were not endless tutorials online in those years.

Still up late at nights writing songs and learning to engineer. And coping with a breakup. We didn't have a drummer for this song so used a synth patch. I got to explore EQing delay on this and it took a while as there were not endless tutorials online in those years.

lyrics

My dreams are rude
I often think of you. Is that the true nature of desire?
 My dreams are rude. They draw a circle around you 
No, we never stopped growing on one another
And so we go on
We go on like you were never

Poison in my arms, poison in my legs,
Mortal to my heart, venom in my veins.
Now I can feel what I want to
 And I can move again.

What if it were true?
 That you were a long-armed loving man
And I was the fool for you? 
There was no conflict to contend with
 I know I can be hateful
 I know you can be nasty too
 I knew you could be broken 
You knew I could be broken too

 We were right to walk away
 and I won’t try to find you
But my dreams are rude
 They still draw a circle around you
And we go on, we go on like you were never

Poison in my arms, poison in my legs,
Mortal to my heart, venom in my veins.
Now I can feel what I want to
 And I can move again.
