And I’m dreaming of Ellory
In a porcelain dream
The rain coming down again
And my lover is calling
I can’t answer the call
The empty boat
The powdered amphetamine stashed in the wall
You know I’ve been hiding
Being judge being jury
being in the wrong
We were forces of nature
We were bright years in love
But I felt myself changing
Callous and sharpened
Increasingly numb
Then I met Ellory
I got trapped in the memory
Of a future I lost
So I let her down
And she keeps reaching out
Knowing all I need is a little help
I wish I were sleeping
But I’m feeling the warning
It’s a cellophane dawn
Ellory's performing
telling jokes on stage
While I lean on the wall
But she doesn’t want me
And If I can’t have Ellory, don’t think I can watch
Tracing cracks in the ceiling
Man I wish I could slip out into some other song
Yeah, I’ve been out walking
I just talk past my friends
Trying to talk to myself
I wish I could see Kendra Jean
Just for a moment
though the fever had passed.
My lover is calling
But my porcelain dream
I can never take back
So I let her down
And she keeps reaching out
Knowing all I need is a little help
Just a little help.
