Too Many Times

Gray is the color of my walls

And the sound of the bars they claim

Gray is my understudied memories

And the taste of the waters we drink

You don't care right now, but you will

When you open your eyes

See gray ceilings over memories

Without the sun to shine onto you

Little brother, please

Live for me

Under the unfenced moon

Little brother, please

Don't follow me down

Into the cold gray

Too many times I was a fool

Wanted respect

Trying to play cool

Too many times

That I threw away for good

Too many times

I'll never have again

[Julian Casablancas]

Put a man inside a fortress

I'm free, with no queen

With no ability to dream, no dreams

And I'm no conformist

With no verse and no choice

Or let his dreams become a void and a voice

You don't care right now

But you'll show it

When it's too late for you to go back on your will

Little brother, please

Live for me

Under the unfenced moon

Little brother, please

Don't follow me down

Into the cold gray

Too many times I was a fool

Wanted respect

Trying to play cool

Too many times

That I threw away for good

Too many times

I'll never get again
