1.
The finished product Of a construct Tired, bothered Mothered, fathered Unfair, your despair Cheated, depleted Clutching onto Puzzles that solve you What kind of impact did you make on the world today? What do you want most stuck on the subway? Why do my thoughts always lead me to this place? Everywhere I am is dreaming of your face It's been a long day
2.
I just wanna go to bed I've got so much nothing to do And not enough time to do it Need to decide what's really important You can keep me up if you'd like I'll hear your stories a few more hours Our nonsensical sensible exchanges Put me to sleep while keeping me up Staying up late isn't half as fun as it used to be I get tired in an instant It's not new and it's not unique So let me get by, I'm washing up The TV show where they have To come up with all the questions to the answers What is Jeopardy? Imagine if life was really like that My toothpaste ran out And do these retainers really hold my Teeth in place like the doctors said? I kind of think that it's a scam Staying up late is twice as fun as it used to be I do my best thinking when I can't sleep I brush my teeth two times a day Water, c'mon, get hot! I want a cookie... no, I want at least 2 cookies Staying up late is exactly like it used to be Only now, it's different So tuck me in and scratch my back I need some help 'cause I can't sleep
3.
Somehow I think when I sit down To play the guitar on my bed You stop what you're doing so you can hear Me sing a song about you At least I wish you did Film projectors in my eyes Directing me to an Academic prize Will or won't I dream tonight About something beautiful and right? At least I think I might Only four lines in a verse So pardon me if I am terse There's too much to sort out What should I even think about? Every regret and every thought Runs around me like it can't be caught My sheets have been freshly laundered What else will I squander? At least I hope I don't Late at night when I go to sleep I think of the secrets I choose to keep My heart has a ledge that stores them all But it became too much, it began to fall At least you know how I feel And that's enough And that's alright At least it might be
4.
So set in my ways As history displays Spent the afternoon with 24 geese And my shadow You need to be Funny and sweet And malleable should I need to fit you To my mold The dead ends Down every street A complicated drive A likely defeat My heartbeat so strong Its blood so red Gallons to give Before I'm dead
5.
Then I watched you walk away Under a desert sky The sun began to fade away As the moon crept by And everything I wanted to say to you As you stared into my eyes Was taken away with the sun As it rose up above all the hills And dipped into the sea And the birth of the moon Bid me to fall into a swoon The likes of which I'd never seen I just sat there, waiting for you To come on by You came over, asked me to dance I said, "Let's give it a try" And everything I wanted to say to you As your arms wrapped around mine Was kicked and swept away With the dust from our shoes As we danced to a tune in a slowed 4/4 time But the song ended soon And my heart burst like a balloon A sweet, innocent crime Well we don't know each other as well as we once did But love is the can opener of time and distance's lid And it's when I'm furthest away from you that I feel so much And when I get closer it all comes rushing back to me but then it just gets swallowed up I just stood there, waiting to hear you Say my name You walked by me without a glance and my Face filled with shame 'Cause everything I wanted to say to you is Still everything I want to say to you There's no guarantee When you play wait and see So get off the bench and get into the game Before it's too late Before they close the gate Before you're left with yourself
6.
Don't build Don't grow Don't take your seeds out and sow The time is never right Wanna feel the way I did those nights My heart is gonna sleep a little less soundly tonight Have I kissed you for the last time? When you're there and I am here Thought I'd be enough to quell that fear And it's hard to admit that I'm wrong When it feels like with you I belong My heart is gonna sleep a little less soundly tonight Have I held you for the last time? I hope I haven't kissed you for the very last time Better to love than not to try Or better to ignore and let love die? My plans fell through I wanted to be with you
7.
You. Me.
8.
I slept with you on my right side last night You didn't mind being next to the wall I slid the blanket over you as we drifted to sleep You didn't seem to care at all And you shone like a light when you had an idea I listened to your every thought And I'll switch you over from the left to the right ear Whenever my tongue is caught I'm so far under you Blue and yellow mixed together make green Like the color of your eyes at night Blue in the morning, changes without a warning The colors of the spectrum excite Sweet looks can melt my heart like it's butter My chest as a sturdy stove Your eyes are an oven, baking and forming The shape of my soul enclosed Your fingers mow my beard of a week I don't wanna shave it off I wanna love you in the present And massage your past Magic Bullet, we're in a blender Singing songs in my mouth It's even to the point now that If & when you leave me, you'll still be here
9.
I'm waiting I've gone to the waves And pick me up when you can My breath is baited And say what you will, yeah And say what you wanna say I'm lickety split and I get tossed around I always let you wear the crown So say what you will, yeah A train crashed today Near the left side of my chest As I came to the realization That I hadn't realized yet And say what you will, yeah And say what you think is right Well I want the one that I never had Just like the one I never knew So say what you will, yeah And I'm thinking things inside of me I think they're in my head And I believe that you're there in there too So could you please get in my bed? I'm in a field of tulips and Most have begun to sprout But when you point that hose at me Nothing comes out You water me With a spigot of silence
10.
I came back and left the gas tank empty again Can't say that I'm surprised It's been a long time since you've seen my face And made contact with my eyes Pictures don't count, no, videos don't count It's just a web of lies I wanna see you, I wanna feel you And eat you alive On a subway station and in a movie theater You decided to bring me close In a pink polka dot dress just like a hooded sweatshirt I knew what I wanted most Was what I had, but what I had Was just the best romantic novel of the year Why'd you put that there? Why'd you make me care? Did it have to reappear? I woke up from another dream of you again And I had to wipe my eyes For I'd been fooled by the architect With the feelings that underlie Dreams in reality and dreams under covers Can bewilder or light a fuse But real life without dreams and beds without sleep Mean there are no clocks to snooze
11.
Time will take care of everything What I want to remember and to forget The biggest smile, the saddest frown With you here, without you around 20 years and more I've grown Recycled thoughts while less is known Jump inside what you believe Try what your mind can conceive I don't know how anybody else does it I just know how I do Thought I smelled you walking through the doorway Turned out it wasn't true Shoots and Ladders, twists and turns Regardless of all concerns Roll the dice, play your piece See how your stock can increase Hashem is great but even He Needs some help from you and me Time will heal what we cannot Intangible, unknown plot When I tried on love for the first time, I thought it was a perfect fit But I was highly inaccurate And on sleepless nights when I shouldn't think of you I'll do so anyway to remind myself of what can be true Time will take care of everything The unexpected, the obvious As it stands now, I'm missing out But soon my time will come about I don't know when, I don't know how Guess I'll see

about

This is the debut album of Max Feinblatt under the guise of Druze Bluze. DB was the name of the band that I played in with Ben, and though this album is a solo departure for myself, I want to release it under the DB name because it sounds cooler than my own name and it reminds me of when I first started learning how to play the guitar. I do have to say that Ben was the one who came up with the name, however.

"Dreams That I May Have Had" is essentially a concept album that relates to the time of day when you come home from whatever you've been doing until the time you get out of bed the next morning. The timestamps at the end of each song give a general idea of when the feelings evoked in the songs might have occurred to me or might occur to you during that general time of the day/night.

More than anything else, this album is a personal thing that I wish to share because I love music and I am proud of what I've done here (despite the sometimes shoddy production value.) Everything you hear - vocals, guitars, other instruments - was done by me (with a little inspiration from the bands I listen to) and was recorded in my various dorm and apartment rooms over the past few years using just one guitar and one keyboard. I got a microphone later on which I used for a few songs.

Thank you for listening and/or downloading, and I would love to hear all comments/questions/criticisms/advice/connections you have for me at MDF62289@gmail.com. Also, check out my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/awolfatthedoor8.
