lyrics

All I need to learn is how to wake up and to sleep
And to be the kind of person who is calm when they breathe
Someone told me what you do is follow your heart
That seemed smart, I did that--
I chose art.

I'll be a famous singer riding on a tour bus
I'll get puss and discuss the business
Maybe god was tired, so he handed it to us
Finally advise I can trust.

But lately I'm just wasted and I'm tired of myself
With no dough and nowhere to go, I'm solo
And so low I can't keep my head above the water
The dream in the distance getting farther
I won't give up, you can still put money in my cup
And I'll be here until I make the hands go up
But the discipline is tough I try and keep my life cleaner
Depression, the curse of the dreamer.

So just be mine girl, I don't believe in the chase
I like the color of your hair and your nice tril waist
I like the way the moonlight lights up your face
It's late, let's begin the real date
Now take your time sweet girl this is our night
From now on you can always know you're gonna be alright
And the starts shine so bright.

Anything is possible.

1,2,3, for creativity
4 & 5 for the smile that I hide
6,7,8, because by now it's too late
9 & 10 and by now I'm your best friend
11 & 12 and tomorrow will be hell.
13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24

Will I die from being lonely?
(I don't want to die young)
Well my liver has failed.
(I don't want to die young)
There's a tumor in my head.
(I don't want to die young)
I got too much to do
(I don't want to die young)
Should I not give a fuck?
(I don't want to die young)
I'm a king what the fuck?
(I don't want to die young)
It's a roll of the dice
(I don't want to die young)
Well i want a family
(I don't want to die young)

Because I'm trapped in the lies I created for myself
I feel crazy and fucked up and lately
i just want to sleep when I open my eyes.
i will shine but right now I'm barely alive
And it's right there but I can't seem to swallow my pride
And I'm too scared to face what is killing inside
If we could do it again, I wouldn't let you fly
I'd hold onto you for life.

But i fucked it up, so I'm back at the start
The roar from the beast that explodes in my heart
And the songs that I play when it's just me
If people could just see, that really there for everybody
Just want to take it all back, star charts like the indians
Buffalo breath and arrow heads from obsidian
The green in the trees the planets in the sky
The dreams I just won't let die.
