Dream

I've waited my whole life to see Maybe it will come to me I've been living in a dream Waking up is new to me I don't know what I want to say Standing on the precipice Trying not to sway The ashes of my hope catch a breeze A cloud of dust in the air The wreckage at my feet And I don't know how to make you proud I see you shaking your head So I think aloud and make a vow to disappoint you less So grab a chair and be prepared I'm stepping back on the road You know the tale I'm gonna fail The seeds are already sown All my life they lied to me Nothing ever comes to me You cannot achieve your dreams All you find is apathy Steady is the hand that you stay Keep the blow to yourself Never pass the pain Squander all the weight that you hold Only break yourself Only break your soul I can't believe I've been deceived All the fruit were dead I fell the tree and burned the leaves And then I built a bed I went to sleep to find relief From everything I failed But underneath, below the sheets I could feel the nails All my life I couldn't see Everything was up to me All I ever did was dream I guess you needed more from me
