You've sworn allegiance to your dreams

but still it seems so hard

that tightrope that you walk

why can't you put it down

drink your way through one more

clouded chapter of your life

the hands reaching out to help you

only seemed to push you further away



your time's up

and away

you've made your choice now there's nothing left to say

your times up

and away



mistreated and abused

but they couldn't steal your heart

everyone was so confused

but your friends all played their part

most likely to succeed

still you threw it all away

now your dreams lie buried next to you they're gone forever



where's the spark in your eye

I miss your smile

you're burning inside out

did you want to?

everything they told you to make the bad things go away

everything that they kept from you

everything I wanted to say
