I hear some white noise screaming
It’s my guitar that wants me to play
And when I turn it off the screaming goes away

When my mind is thrown away
I just want to play again
Whether or not I’m grown or old enough
To sing out my heart to them
Virtues that bleed my vanes of cold
And still I want them to be what is aspired to
By who, by man or girl who seek an ever after
To sit with all friends during ever such rapture

I want death
It is the fear, for all who don’t know fear
And for some it is nothing but a continuing of life
Then why don’t they wish for dying?
Nihilist should be more for living lavish then for those who follow
Follow the piper who’s playing for dreams
Whom tells you his stories before you can sleep
And gives you his notions of magic and twaddle
Like water to wine drank straight from the bottle
And walking on water or healing the blind
A magical being no man here can find

Terrible lives for Richards
They’re spending their lives and not getting richer  
Walking a path that’s already been chosen for
Like buying a life off of some rows in stores
But why end there, forever in a jaded light and screaming
For those who say they’re both living a dreaming  
And they’re so right they’re wrong
They live in a life that shouldn’t be done
And all that they have and all that they know
Gone with the dust and gone with the flow
When putting your trust into not letting go
You’ve got to remember you wont live here forever
So start putting down your glittering gold
And kiss goodbye your spotlighted fame
Just give it all up and start walking away
