University Dreams

These are our university dreams 
And these are our common courtesy screams

Win, I may not prevail in this battle
But my promise to you is
I will remove flesh from shadow
My composition of daily sins 
Remove me from my suffering 
And it will may be end 

These are our university dreams 
And these are our common courtesy screams

How much more 
Do you wish me to endure?
And how much longer 
Will you miss me in cure?
My reflection, will it dawn upon man, shall it
In no other words would I allow you to have it 

I give you my university dreams
The selfishness in my common courtesy screams
