Originally written for a project of visual artist Angelique Benicio, this track talks about a dream that can't find a place to nest, because all human brains are completely occupied.

lyrics

I'm an orphan dream
Searching for a foster mind

I'm flying around
Trying to be found
By a being whose mind Is willing to find

Don't need a big screen
For me to be seen
Just the size of a grain
In the back of a brain

I'm an orphan dream
Searching for a foster mind

Wandering ghosts
Are hunting for hosts
Non framable art
For inflammable hearts

Chances and dreams
Need your desire
Grab them in time
Before they expire

I'm an orphan dream
Searching for a foster mind

But spare grey matter's getting rare
Cause free time and space cause scare
Men need tweets and chatters
Likes and fake flatters
To shatter the last bit of air
