There's blood in my mouth as I'm biding my time Can't figure it out have I passed my prime I don't know, where to go, will the visions start to flow The pressure is hard and it's making me weak Nothing I do is subtle or unique Is this it? I admit, I've bit the bullet And I see all these faces I can't dream I'm coming apart at the seams I feel all these feelings I can't express But my brain is causing absentness The dreamers are dead, and the money is bare I won't sell out from this road to nowhere No, I won't go, too much respect in my soul The walls surrounding all cave in How in the hell am I going to win? I don't know, vertigo, release me down below And I see all these faces I can't dream I'm coming apart at the seams Theme park rides have never been my kind of thing But I go up and down on every ride And I don't how to get my angel's wings Cause if I do success will pass me by And I don't where the visionaries have gone Will I see them past the dawn? Should I sell my soul to the ones in control The decision-making bastards who control the bankroll Should I coast by on making mediocrity? And pretend I've done any of it modestly? Should I throw away any moral compass I have To accept corrupt wagers offering less than half Should I buy myself a house at the top of the hills And never worry about any of my bills Should I get married to a model who doesn't care who I am Cause I fly her in my private jet to Amsterdam Should I fix everything in post and never show up on time Cause I spent the last week doing too many lines Should I sleep with anyone who wants to get a part Lie to everyone that I can give them a start Become expendable to every single person who hires me Saying yes to every question is always the key Become a corporate shell ran by the machine Not see any of my visions on the screen Then I overdose at 50 and I never wake up The obituaries call me just a bigoted yup Do I give up the dream and let it wither and die? Or do I stick to the morals that we should abide by
