Lyrics
Who Needs To Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You plead with yourself
But he's leading you on
It's the same thing every time, every time
I am determined not to fall into that trap again
It's the things I need for myself
And not a way to validate
Or partner up with some great statue
That never moves or goes on dates
And chasing the one who's running away
While being chased by the one you don't want
It's the race to be whole
And it's always unfair
It'll break your heart for a while
Break your heart for a while
The passion hoping wanting
Is what drove you to be
What you are today
What you are today
The shape shifting, weightlifting
Hope the presentation will catch his eye
And it did, and then he saw the string
He grabbed it and leads you on your leash
You offered it up so don't blame anyone but yourself
And just the moment you think just at the moment you think
You're closing the deal he walks to the other side of the world
And closes the door in your face
You never give me the things I need and yet I stay here, I remain
Hoping you will see the things I need
But I've come to learn
You don't even see me I am invisible to
You don't even see me I am invisible
Who needs to dream?
I don't want to dream about the future
I only hope that I can make it to tomorrow
