Becoming A Jackal

The most familiar room
 Every implement was leading to you
 And your homely sense of dissaray
 Never once the same
 Always rearranged
 But things would never change
 In the seam between the window frame
 Where the jackals preyed on every soul
 Where they tied you to a pole
 And stripped you of your clothes
 I was a dreamer
 Staring at windows
 Out onto the main street
 Cause that's where the dream goes
 And each time they found fresh meat to chew
 I would turn away and return to you
 You would offer me your unmade bed
 Feed me till I'm fed
 And read me till I'm read
 But when the morning came
 You would catch me at the window again
 In an eyes wide open sleeping state
 Staring into space
 With no look upon my face
 I was a dreamer
 Staring at windows
 Out onto the main street
 Cause that's where the dream goes
 And when I got older
 When I grew older
 Out onto the streets I flew
 Released from your shackles
 I danced with the Jackals
 And learned a new way to move
 So before you take this song as truth
 You should wonder what I'm taking from you
 How I benefit from you being here
 Lending me your ears
 While I'm selling you my fears
 I was a dreamer
 (I'm selling you my fears)
 Staring at windows
 (I'm selling you my fears)
 Out onto the main street
 (I'm selling you my fears)
 Cause that's where the dream goes
 (I'm selling you...)
 I was a dreamer
 Staring at windows
 Out onto the main street
 Cause that's where the dream goes
