*afraid of things that never were* open up the window and let the cold wash over me. open up my eyes and let my hopes take hold of me. there's a star off in the distance just beyond the roads of this place see it falling, hear it calling, and i'll make it if i'm crawling Dreamin the dreams of everyone Needing things that can't be won Drown in a shout of can't-be-done Just who the hell did i think i was? Writing across the pages on a dark an' lonely journey. writing about faith and rage as the days keep slowly burning. pages in a book of sins fightin' a fight i just can't win i keep striving, feel it dying, but i keep lying to myself... Dreamin the dreams of everyone Needing things that can't be won Drown in a shout of can't-be-done Just who the hell did i think i was? Looking through the tears and trying to fight the fears Can't help thinking maybe i been wasted all these years. Running through the streets not lookin for sympathies Wond'rin if i close my eyes would my dreams give up on me? Mom and Dad just called and said i'm not their son. Mom and Dad said all that i'll ever be's a bum. "it's hard to lead the life you choose when all your luck's run out on you" and everyone is making fun of the dreamer that i thought i was. lying on the ground; don't think i'm gonna get up. writing it all down before these dreams can burn up. question the things i want and need will things i chase really set me free? heart is screaming; give up dreaming? teach me to start believing won't you... Dreamin the dreams of everyone Needing things that can't be won Drown in a shout of can't-be-done Just who the hell did i think i was? it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown [This message has been edited by MidnightSon (07-08-2002 04:55 AM).] |

And that my wise friend -- is a very cool thing. But then..Ive come to expect cool things from you Later-rock-on-gator  Now for me some words come easy |
