This is Not a Dream (Ace of Spades)

Tombstone epitaph reads "I'll get it right next time"
And the implications of those words make me wonder if I’m the guy
So, the pressure’s on to reverse the curse, and I hope I’m up to the test
Now I live inside a liminal space and I wish you all the best

This is not a dream
This is not a dream

I’m in the market for a miracle
I’m so desperate on a Saturday night
I been too damn defeated to try to turn these wrong into rights
I walk for days searchin’ for real connection
I meditate tryin’ to set some intention
But I get clobbered by the cruelty of a Venn diagram’s intersection

And I know I’m not alone (it just feels that way)
And I know I’m not alone (it just feels that way)
And I know I’m not alone (it just feels that way)
Can anybody tell me why it feels that way?
Or am I just talking to myself
I guess I’m talking to myself

This is not a dream
This is not a dream
This is not a dream
This is not a dream
(I tried to tell you back at the start)
