brittle dreams

Of all the things I'd like to be
May I please meet my sanity
I sing as if my brittle dreams
Could carry the weight of me
I am nothing if it's not what it seems
You are something always lovely to me
They had a vision I could walk on the wind
I will give you my only real gift

If you could tell me why the guilt goes round and round
Don't you get tired
Don't you get high
Don't you ever tell a lie
Don't you ever change your mind
Did you ever find the time
Did you tell those who love you that they're always on your mind
I don't think so
No I don't think so

Of all these problems rolling past
I see the world through glass and mask
I've made a living being this
I bring you that which doesn't exist

If you're running back home and you run into a soul
Sitting down in the road
And he's looking forlorn
But you don't really know
And his shirt's all tattered in his pants there's a hole
I know I failed you once but you failed me twice
I couldn't stay away I couldn't take my own advice
And that's the story of my life
I don't glorify the fight that's war torn in my mind
I'm all about the now
I don't pretend to know what's right

Of all the things I'd like to be
May I please meet my sanity
I sing as if my brittle dreams
Could carry the weight of me
