That's All I'll Ever Become

Tell me your dreams

Make them as big as you can

So then they have the best chance of maybe working out

Sometimes nothing works out sometimes

Don't be alarmed

Don't shy away when you're in the wrong

I can testify to what it's like being

Lost inside yourself, a personal hell

I wanna live to the second last day that my children do

Selfishly so I can see them through

And all that they become

That's all I'll ever become

Spend it all

Every last bit that you have

If you need to buy back the piece you lost

To the upkeep of renting a room for your soul

I can see how

Every last downfall of man

Could one day lead to the end if we can't find harmony

And treat others like we'd like to be treated

Fair

I know it's not really fair

That don't mean the outcome you should

Be decided solely by the income of people

Who don't need it for livin'

Still...

I wanna live to the second last day that my children do

Selfishly so I can see them through

And all that they become

That's all I'll ever become
