taking time to buy you joy

i peeled my eyes so i can see

the things i bought to fill myself

left my glass empty

and you could see my dreams evolve into just one chance

as romantic as a love affair that begins and ends with a glance

tell me what you wanna be, is it the same?

tell me how it's gonna sound so lame

tell me how's your music thing; is it as you dreamed?

money hand and hand with fame

are you happy?

i was too lost to see

anything concise

i could never place you on

a podium of lies

but when your dreams slip by in front of you, it's such a tease

i hope that there's no one there to see them slip by me

tell me what you wanna be; is it the same?

tell me how it's gonna sound so lame

tell me how's your music thing; is it as you dreamed?

money hand and hand with fame

are you happy?

when you finally took my hand

i could understand

when you tell me nothing's wrong

do you think i'm still a man
