Struck Down Dreaming (All That I Want)

from Rough Rider by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

A hard light shines like truth on lies
Upon the means to this bitter end
Into the false direction, into my sad eyes
I'm just looking for you my long lost friend

Chorus
Struck down dreaming
Watching fate unfurl
I want a mystery gleaming
In the hot dry air
I want to seek without burden
In my desire no shame
But all that I want will cause me pain

You wake up to just a glimpse
Of a madman crawling from your bed
You don't like what you do to him
But I fell for every word you said

With the power down and the candle dim
I study, with you, the lost art of silence
Lusting on the sweat of your skin
Thinking more of love and less of violence
