A Dream, Pt. II: Another Face Among the Crowd Video (MV)

Last night I dreamt I was
Another face among a crowd
Of cheering friends
Friends with the same face as me
Same height, same age, same clothes
Same fears, same voice, same dreams
But they're not me, no they're not me

We saw him standing there
His words, messianic, brought us here
And we felt safe
He looked just the same as me
Same words, same truths, same lies,
Same smile, same trusting eyes
But he's not me, no he's not me

There was an older man
Another face among the crowd
Of older men
He was just the same as them
Same anger-driven cries
Same flask, same drunken eyes
But is he them? He feels the same

As I woke up that day
I understood the dream I had
Was not a dream
As I stood among the crowd
Same crowd, same friends, same date
Same fallen candidate
Same gun, same dying breath
Same me that took the shot
But is he dead? He should be dead

I felt a painful shock
My dream did not include the part
Where I joined him
As I looked upon this crowd
Same faces everywhere
Same people standing there
And I was gone, yes I was gone
