Without Aplomb

Baby, can't you see?
All that you can be?
If you can dream it
You can be it
Just make sure
You put the hours in

Baby, can't you see?
How great your life can be?
And we will be here
To help you reach your goals
Just don't limit yourself
To what you can think of

But now you've grown up son
You have to move on
Think for the long run
You're not a kid anymore

You can still dream all you want
But life won't wait for you
So you end up forgetting
What you really wanted
There's no time to look inward

Even if you tried
There's no reason why
You could never make up the time

So you try to hide
All this shit inside
As you watch all your freedom fly

Even if you tried
There's no reason why
You could never make up the time

So you try to hide
All this shit inside
As you watch all your freedom fly

What about the bills you have to pay?
Are you really gonna throw all these years away?
You're now too old to run away
Are you really sure that this is not just a phase?
What about the college your parents paid?
How would you explain to them that you hate
Every single minute of your weekdays
They would never understand your pain
Don't be selfish and just make it fuckin' right
You're not the only one who hates his fuckin' life

Even if you tried
There's no reason why
There's no money to make up the time, make up the time

So you try to hide
All this shit inside
As you watch all your freedom fly, freedom fly

Another sleepless night
Shut your mind
Why would you try?

How would you survive
If you tried?
You cannot try
Can not try
Can not

I think I'm underestimating
The weight of this on my sanity
Dreaming about this fantasy
Almost feels like blasphemy
When actually
I could never make it work
'Cause it's been over a decade
And I've never put the hours in
Fuck
I guess
I'll think about it in another bad day
