Broken Records - I Used To Dream lyrics

rate me

You picked me up in the morning light

With a heavy head and sallow eyes

A ball of flesh and heavy bone

Known better days are kind of sore

I used to dream of leaving here

Now I just sleep away the fear

Nothing much ever came from me

A sack of empty promises

And if all these selfish thoughts

Would please just stop

Sometimes do you wish you could watch it burn?

The life you've built and the things you own

And I dreamt of her again last night

And how I could put the past to right

And if all these selfish thoughts

Would all just stop

And leave a little room for

Someone else

When all that it would help

To fall behind

I used to dream of leaving here

But the roots that bind were mine to grow
