empty promise

You and me in broken dreams

Stranded out in the middle of the open sea

Only way back home is to start to row

You're not goin' anywhere 'til you rock the boat

You can live in fantasy

You're not a visionary or a wannabe

Don't tell me that you really want it

'Cause you can't make a livin' off an empty promise

Oh, livin' like a legend can lead to a lonely road

Will I make it or not? Will I take it apart?

Am I chasin' fool's gold?

Makin' believe 'stead of makin' decisions

Is making your dreams a little hard to believe

But if you're Icarus I need you to go into the unknown

It'll be just you and me in broken dreams

Stranded out in the middle of the open sea

Only way back home is to start to row

You're not goin' anywhere 'til you rock the boat

You can live in fantasy

You're not a visionary or a wannabe

Don't tell me that you really want it

'Cause you can't make a livin' off an empty promise

Whaddya think this is, you think I'm new to this?

You think you're sittin' in another position?

Are you kidding me, boy? That's ludicruous!

You think you'll make it postin' beats on SoundCloud?

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard

Man, this industry will have you runnin'

Leavin' the rat race behind ain't easy this has just begun man

There's a reason labels have a hundred men you're only one man

Gotta do in one day what takes ten people a couple months

So if you think you're ready then get up and get on at 'em

Just you and me in broken dreams

Stranded out in the middle of the open sea

Only way back home is to start to row

You're not goin' anywhere 'til you rock the boat

You can live in fantasy

You're not a visionary or a wannabe

Don't tell me that you really want it

'Cause you can't make a livin' off an empty promise

You and me in broken dreams

Stranded out in the middle of the open sea

Only way back home is to start to row
