There is a man in my dreams,
Let’s call him The Ranger,
He acts like a friend,
But he’s really a stranger.
In my dreams,
We played each other’s songs,
But for him,
All of my writing is wrong.
He can’t feel,
Anyone else’s verse,
And he can’t deal,
With anyone else’s hurts.
Because his pain is his treasure box,
That he likes to flaunt,
That he likes to keep unlocked.
I know he knows me,
From a thousand lifetimes before,
I’ve called out his name,
From beneath his window,
I’ve groveled outside of his door.
He gave me his mind,
So I became The Re-Arranger
I gave him my heart,
And he held up a mirror.
Still, I was the fool,
Who fell into that narcissus cesspool,
Just another flaunt,
Drowning in their own drool.
For the Ranger,
I’m his savior,
That grave digger,
I keep him afloat.
But count on the Ranger,
To leave me in danger,
As his tears fill up,
The graves and make a moat.
It’s hard when you’re a man like him,
To find love from within,
It’s hard when you’re a man like he,
To find love for a man like me.
It’s hard when you’re a man like me,
Not to take things personally,
It’s hard when you’re a man like me,
To find men like me.
We’re strictly platonic,
Sometimes psychotic,
Always neurotic,
And oh so morose.
Friends yet strangers,
Becoming endangered,
Mama saviors,
From Daddy’s ghost.
The friends in our heads,
Sleep in our bed,
Love us instead,
So we can stay alone.
But he helped me see,
Through all of my glory,
The Ranger in me,
Deep in the unknown.
