Dream Jeremy from Dream Jeremy by Eliot Wilder

When I died last week
It was an ugly mess
Took a gun and blew out my brains
After so many years of distress
My life had been heading
On a slippery slide
Just couldn’t handle one more day
On this shitty, shitty ride
Had to take some action
Had to end this nightmare
But just before I did it
I wondered if anyone would really care

And now I’m born again
I am born again
Got myself a second chance
I am born again
Yeah I’m born again
Born again
Gonna learn a brand new dance
Born again

I’d spent the whole last year
Talking with my therapist
She was trying to make me see
The underlying gist
She unscrewed my heart
And tapped into my ache
And then I fell in love with her
Which was a fatal mistake
Had to take some action
Had to split the scene
It was all or nothing
There was no in-between

I wonder what they’re saying now
Now that I am dead
“He was such a funny guy
With funny thoughts in his head”
It doesn’t really matter
What anybody thinks
I did what I had to do
My usual high jinks
Had to take some action
Had to end this wretched pain
Think of me as one more link
On this endless daisy chain
