lyrics

Can’t walk, can’t talk with your foot in your mouth
Got cold, my hopes all flew south
This shame will stain your face forever
The guilt you built around my life
A wall so tall it blocks the light
All I needed was a reminder

That dreams don’t come true
They just beat you black and blue
‘til you wake up shaking and confused

In this life we lead, you can’t write with lead
And the ink it bleeds onto the paper from the pen
Can’t erase your mistakes
Cross them out but you’ll know what they said
Just skip a line, indent, begin again

Thousands of dollars in the fountains, wishing wells
Trying to buy something the world could never sell
A penny saved is wisdom earned
When will any of you people ever learn

Wishes don’t come true
They just beat you black and blue
Water filled with rust and residue

Always colored outside the lines
Now my artwork looks like shit
Never paid attention to the signs
Now I’m wandering directionless
Now is my life worth hanging on the fridge
And can I keep living crossing every
Unknown path and broken bridge

Their words were never true
They just beat me black and blue
And the world keeps spinning on without a clue
