Copper Full of Dreams
Pockets empty, head’s full of a lonely mess
Found myself in a gutter, no better than the rest
It’s 2pm and I’m fucking drunk
Once again in the same old rut
My pride is bold but how far can this ride take me?
When all you have is a bottle of forgotten memories
Half full, half empty
Life is what you can make of it, a sad story for you
A copper dream down a wishing well
Will we ever get out of this hell?
Close your eyes now and count to ten,
Wish to make it last all over again
Hope to bring yourself back to the past
Before all the pain, before happiness drifted away
The golden dream’s that once carried your weight
Not very likely in this day in age
Youth only lasts for so fucking long
Sometime it can be so hard for one to stand strong
If only the value would have stayed
But as it turned to copper I threw it all away
If a penny’s worth a thousand thoughts
For your dreams, what would you pay?
Threw my last penny down a wishing well
In slow motion I watch my dream fall
No cents to give
No sense to live
As I wonder, eyes shut, but no longer dry
For that wish to take me away
I wipe my face for the last time
(I had nothing left at all)
