Visions Of What Could Have Been Lyrics - Scott Garriott

I got up this morning with a case of heartbreak 

There's sounds in the next room that kept me awake 

the chainholder kept his lock on you tight 

As you continue onbound by him through the night 

I walked through the muck and stepped into the rain 

Visions of what could have been drive me insane 

Your cruel spell cast by words misspoken 

Left someone cold, tempted, and heartbroken. 

My spiderweb locked so firm round your wrist 

as your chain holder crushes the spider with a fist 

The beautiful vixen was hiding her gun 

Visions of what could've been make me want to run 

The benchwarming lion tries hard to accept 

But his heart jumps two feet from some kind of neglect 

Your selfishness heals his acceptance and joy 

But feels not so bad about being your toy 

It all feels so thrilling so pretty and wild 

Visions of what could've been make me feel like a child 

The death juggling doctor heard something so sick 

That it numbed all the pain with some kind of trick 

Now there's really nothing much more to be done 

But love my own heartbreak and try to have fun 

And sometimes its fun to live in a mess 

And visions of what could have been should be repressed 

My fantasies and love are all mine alone 

Nothing for no one to hate or condone 

We live in the present; love comes from within 

But you treat my feelings like you don't know where they've been 

Living in a shipwreck in a lifetime of storms 

Visions of what could've been keep me so warm 

The wise old professor he knew everything 

The singer learned lyrics but never did sing 

Now that were all crazy; nothing really much matters 

Not internal pride, nor your external flatter 

The bitter reality cuts through like a knife 

And visions of what could've been are changing my life
