Dreams Are a Waste of Time Lyrics

Another day's passed

And just a blank stare at the wall

And you can imagine

I'm losing my mind

As I am trying to find

The way to fix that's all behind

But as everything goes

You know I try, I try and I try

And I've just about had it

But truth to be told

That my folks will say hold

Because all my dreams are a waste of time

Mother says you need to go to school with passing grades

Father says you need a good-paying job to pay all your bills

To be a uniform member like the other people

So I told them I want to live the life I'd like

But not the life where I would die

I tell them 'bout the other people

What happened to the man who's lost himself?

He's rot away

What happened to the young boy's mind?

He follows the same fate

I'm losing control

As everything gets shot down

I'm not living this life for you

I dream too, you know

And I plan to reach them one day

This isn't a path for two

It's always the same

It's all the questions that get me stuck in your loop

It's always unfair

It's all the ways you control and all the ways you have us bind to our seats

They have you by the neck again

And I tell them

I won't let you strip me of my dreams

Because you couldn't pursue your own

All of the lights

They blind me

But I've no use of my eyes no more

I'm stripped apart of my life

So don't let the wolves get a hold of you

I'm losing control

As everything gets shot down

I'm not living this life for you

I dream too, you know

And I plan to reach them one day

This isn't a path for two

Close your eyes

Tell me why

Deep in your heart

Why can't the broken have dreams anymore?

Close your eyes

Tell me why

Deep in your heart

Why can't the broken have dreams anymore?

If I could find a way

To show you why

What this means to me

I'm losing control

As everything gets shot down

I'm not living this life for you

This dream is my chance

And I will reach it one day

I'm living this life for me
