That’s All I’ll Ever Become

Tell me your dreams
Make them as big as you can
So then they have the best chance of maybe working out
Sometimes nothing works out sometimes
Don't be alarmed
Don't shy away when you're in the wrong
I can testify to what it's like being lost inside yourself, a personal hell

I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
Selfishly so I can see them through
And all that they become
That's all I'll ever become

Spend it all
Every last bit that you have
If you need to buy back the piece you lost to the upkeep of renting a room for your soul
I can see how
Every last downfall of man
Could one day lead to the end if we can't find harmony
And treat others like we'd like to be treated
Fair
I know it's not really fair
That don't mean the outcome should be decided solely by the income of people
Who don't need it for livin'
Still...

I wanna live to the second last day that my children do
Selfishly so I can see them through
And all that they become
That's all I'll ever become
