Seeking praise with limited action
Keeping up appearances while deaf and blind and numb
Throwing away the missing pieces that you cannot find
This was everything you wanted all the time
Missing teeth an innocence is lost
Coming home from work all day to drown in alcohol
Maybe this is the promised life you learned from TV
This was everything you dreamed your life could be
I was missing out on what I forgot to be
Living dreams behind the scenes whatever I want it to be
Looking in on the edge in the air is who I am
And I don't want to ever see what you got for proof
I will dream that everything I wanted is true
Lucking out is making me forget who I am
And I won't ever be forgotten again
