lyrics

All of my life
I've been one or two things
All of my dreams
have been one or two dreams

I used to fall in love 'bout every single day

That delivered me
to another false start
Bittersweet paths
for the feet and the heart

Still I turned out fine
Maybe better than most
I improvised living
And why the Hell not?

'Cause everyone's got methods to go on

I'm livin' it up
Just as far as I go
Using a white flag
To brighten the wall

This technology of terror
Followed me from here to there
While diggers of gold were replaced by a bot
Digging it's claws deep in everyone's thoughts

Now it sees in me what sometimes I forget
That frozen teenage dreamer in my head
The day I wished the world to know my name

Deliver me
to another strange world
Where people think more
before doin' what they're told

It used to bum me out
that this would last forever

I'm losing my hope
And I'm losing my soul
I'm sick of this race
Yeah, I'm sick of it all

I can't even see the sky from here
I don't know what to do

'Cause every sail's unbothered by the winds

Today I got past
all the names I've been called
Some I deserved
Others probably not
I turned on the light
to see you staring back at me to say

All of my life
I've been one or two things
All of my dreams
Have been one or two dreams

There used to be a ground
on which we stood
There used to be a tower
from which I looked

The Ivory-coated visions every night
One by one they die
Please don't ask me why
I don't know much about it

My life has been stopped
And it ain't gonna start no more
My thoughts have been paused
Now it ain't gonna hurt no more

My life has been good
My love has been pure
And I don't regret a thing

I've said my goodbyes
Now and then with a silent song
I'm sick of this fraud
'Cause I don't really know what for

They used all our cries
In a great wall of lies
Like a piece of a puzzle game

So here's my guitar
And a whisper to follow through
I'll be the last star
Not a wish, but a tale come true

Don't take on the world
Don't take it alone
'Cause it ain't gonna change a thing

If you're just a pawn
When the big game is won
You'll be gone like snow

Cold as the tournament hall
Alone in a mountain of gold
Show me the way to the door
And I'll finally do what I want

'Cause freedom ain't free anymore
