Pipe Dream

If I write this down, is anybody gonna care at all?

If I wore this crown, would they be happy just to see me fall?

Does anybody really care what it means?

Am I a fiend for dopamine?

Am I seeking validation?

And do I meet your expectations?

Maybe it's not meant to be (Money fame and royalties)

And if you think that I'm delusional, I might agree

Spill my guts for all to see (Dreaming of the major leagues)

But I guess nothing is worth having if it comes for free

Watch us fall apart as we take it slow

As above, so below

So watch me circle the drain

Pick apart inside my brain

Do I still want this? Is it easy just to let it rot away?

Yes, you do

Music's the only thing that got you through

When the world lays down a beating and you're black and blue

When your life's a total shitshow and so are you

It picks you up when nothing else will do

Maybe it's not meant to be (Money fame and royalties)

And if you think that I'm delusional, I might agree

Spill my guts for all to see (Dreaming of the major leagues)

But I guess nothing is worth having when you get it for free

And now I guess you're on a black list

Recoiling from the latent madness

The world keeps spinning on its axis

I'd like to do this how we practiced

Chin up, chest out

Get wrecked I'm an idiot

Check in, check out

Please stroke my ego

Chin up, chest out

Get wrecked I'm an idiot

Check in, check out

Please stroke my ego

Maybe it's not meant to be (Money fame and royalties)

And if you think that I'm delusional, I might agree

Spill my guts for all to see (Dreaming of the major leagues)

But I guess nothing is worth having when you get it for free
