Dream of the sky. They've already fucked you, chump 'cause you were the last one in. Dream of wide thighs, Though you are on your way you'll never be earning quite like the men in the suits who've decided we're all cunts. Mid-stream day dream of a life in a better place where booze is not the medicine. But you sail through. Off with your head and cough you'll never be earning quite like the men in the suits who've decided we're all cunts. It's your fault they're closing all the doors. It's the bridge you burnt and sure you'll stay for just one more to find this God they believe in. I don't mind. Push my world aside. To satisfy your hopes and dreams that I get left behind.

Enough is all it takes to start me imagining the things that I could achieve if I just remained asleep. Time goes too fast, awake. I'll slow it down myself. My mind will control my fate if I just remain asleep. Then I wake up alone, at home. Then I wake up alone, at home. I know why I exist; to replace my needs, my wants my greeds, my to-do-list. Tai Lopez, fuck yourself. My spare time decreased and it won't be increased by a thousand books on my shelf. Time goes too fast, awake. Set my mind to 'such is life'. With all due respect I'm not dead as far as I know. Forgive yourself, I can. Intercept your dedication to this already bad omen. I stand whip-hand in my state of rot and ruin and it takes me right back to my youth. As a kid I learnt in full that I'm a red rage to a bull and that's all. I know why I exist; to replace my needs, my wants my greeds, my to-do-list. Tai Lopez, fuck yourself. My spare time decreased and it won't be increased by a thousand books on my shelf.

Can you wait to abdicate your golden throne? To celebrate the decimation of your own backbone? On knees I crawl I'm begging you to slowly change we need more alcohol. I know I'm old but a beard bigger than you? Who knows? More beer, more power, dude. Dressed like you're 8 with your mason jar of self-control. Check your prostate while you're up inside your own arsehole. On knees I crawl I'm begging you to slowly change we need more alcohol. I know I'm old but a beard bigger than you? Who knows? More beer, more power, dude. Show me red, show me red. Where's your attack? Where is your attack? Show me red, show me red. Wake up, where are you now? I know I'm old but a beard bigger than you? Who knows? More beer, more power, dude.

So I wondered if you still weigh out glass for my chips? 'Cause I won't stray too far away so don't go heavy. I can't feel though I can move As my outcast ends my groove. 'Cause I won't stray too far away so don't go heavy on me. And then it all breaks down and goes quiet. In my head I'm somewhere else instead. Our talks become both our thoughts. But both voices are mine not yours. 'Cause I won't stray too far away so don't go heavy on me. And then it all breaks down and goes quiet. In my head I'm somewhere else instead. I can't win on my own. I can't win on my own. It's a circle, it's a hole. You might say it's a spiral out of control. Though I am sleeping again I wake so afraid that a smile could kill me. It's like I am not here. I'm just a stand-in 'til I disappear.
