The Day Dreams Died
 

Just a little hatchling
As I slowly find my way around this labyrinth
Some call it a game
A wiser man may call it life
I feel the world is my oyster
Someday i'll have it all
The years pass by
And I see that another day mianders by

Today was careers day in the old school yard
So pre-occupied with occupation
All going to be doctors, lawyers and investment bankers
Me..I'm going to be a drummer when I grow up
"Hey Billy you can't do both" they say to a raptrous applause

The jokes continue at my expense
"Hey Billy what do you call a drummer without a girlfriend?...homeless
When was the day when we arose from dreams?
We've got to live to work
Only to see your first love take half of it away

Why is it that I do what I hate and hate that I do?
And that I just can't do what I know what is right?
Seems they're a chip off the old cornerstone
But are they just like me?
Don't know where the show ends and reality begins

Another day slowing finding my way
Amongst this maze of post-modern thought
For if it is really goo to you
What makes me any different to these animals
That have escaped our concrete zoo?
(Second time alternate to "These animals that we've saved in our concrete zoo)
I hope I don't live a life of regret
Lament the star I know I can be
Must see that sunset I plan to be

(Alternate to following second time)
Why have I lived this life of regret?
Lament the star I knew I could have been
Never rose to see that sunset I always planned to see

Hide i liked that one really a lot of diffrent feelings about life all rollrd into one i liked the verse}}why is it that i do what i hate and hate that i do and that i just cant do what i know is right

cool thanks good that you enjoyed that verse but perhaps it should be hate what i do!

thank you hide for you pointing that out really haha :D

hehe how embarassment!

No to tell you the truth it happens alot it dosent really bother me if someone tells me my spelling in typing sucks im really use to it haha

hehe it was really me who stuffed up because i had it as you typed it and didn't pick up on it until you typed it. i wonder if editors go through the lyrics before albums are released?

i would say they do i would say they would have to by the way did,nt you mean embarassing instead of embarassment HAHA

LOL no that was on purpose from an Aussie tv show LOL

You would they would otherwise they would look quite foolish!

oh icic i dont whatch that tv show hide}] when i do tune inn i like animal planent and the discovery channel~~most the time im really off topic now

discovery channel and animal planet are fantastic, that is from effie remember her? i'm also a sports addict and occasionally watch VH1 and the like when they have something decent on there anyhow. oh boy are we off topic! LOL

vh1 sucks but i do whatch it when yes somthing decent is on no i dont remember that chick~~Later hide and this very off topic so im going shut my up NOW

Wow, hide, you have a lot on your mind! Very thought provoking, as usual...
Loved this line:

For if it is really goo to you
What makes me any different to these animals
That have escaped our concrete zoo?

cool thanks glad you enjoyed it and i think its so true, if we are just like all the animals why should we help the disabled, the weaker, those who refuse to help themselves and the like?
